Laparoscopic hepatectomy reduces postoperative complications and hospital stay in overweight and obese patients.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundLaparoscopic liver surgery is currently considered the standard of care for various liver malignancies. However, studies focusing on perioperative outcome after laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) in overweight patients are still sparse and its benefit compared to open hepatectomy (OH) is a matter of debate.
aimTo analyze postoperative outcomes in overweight [body mass index (BMI) over 25 kg/m²] and obese (BMI over 30 kg/m²) patients undergoing LH and compare postoperative outcome with patients undergoing OH.
methodsPerioperative data of 68 overweight (BMI over 25 kg/m²) including a subcohort of obese (BMI over 30 kg/m²) patients (
resultsThe mean BMI was 29.8 ± 4.9 kg/m
conclusionLH is safe and cost-effective in overweight and obese patients. Furthermore, LH is significantly associated with fewer postoperative complications and reduced hospital stay compared to OH in these patients.
