1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo determine the standard remnant liver volume (SRLV) threshold to avoid postoperative hepatic insufficiency inpatients in different stages of hepatic fibrosis who undergo right hemi-hepatectomy.

methodsData for 85 patients at our single medical center were analysed prospectively to examine whether the following factors differed significantly between those who experienced postoperative hepatic insufficiency and those who did not: height, prothrombin time, remnant liver volume, SRLV or hepatic fibrosis stage.

resultsLogistic regression showed SRLV and hepatic fibrosis stage to be independent risk factors for postoperative hepatic insufficiency. The threshold SRLV for predicting insufficiency was 203.2 ml/m

conclusionsRight hemi-hepatectomy may be safer in Chinese patients when the standard remnant liver volume is more than 203.2 ml/m
