Association Between Operative Approach and Venous Thromboembolism Rate Following Hepatectomy: a Propensity-Matched Analysis.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe use of minimally invasive approaches to hepatectomy has increased in recent years, but the risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is undefined. We aimed to compare VTE rates after open hepatectomy and minimally invasive hepatectomy using an administrative dataset. STUDY
designPatients with primary or metastatic liver tumors were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-targeted hepatectomy database (2016-2018). VTE was compared between patients who underwent open or minimally invasive hepatectomy after a propensity score matching of 1:1 for demographics, comorbidities, and operative factors.
resultsA total of 6935 patients underwent open hepatectomy and 2237 underwent minimally invasive hepatectomy. After matching, there were 1968 patients per group without differences in demographics, comorbidities, or operative variables. Prior to matching, the VTE rate was higher among patients who underwent open hepatectomy (2.8% vs. 1.1%, p < 0.001), and open hepatectomy was independently associated with VTE (OR = 1.90, p = 0.006). The VTE rate remained higher among open hepatectomy compared to minimally invasive hepatectomy after matching (2.4% vs. 1.1%, p = 0.003). Open hepatectomy was associated with a higher VTE rate in patients undergoing minor (1.9 vs. 1.0%, p = 0.028) and major hepatectomy (5.0 vs. 1.9%, p = 0.045).
conclusionPatients who undergo an open hepatectomy for malignancy have a higher incidence of postoperative VTE compared to minimally invasive hepatectomy for both minor and major hepatectomy.
