Chronological analysis of surgical and oncological outcomes after the treatment of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

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
BACKGROUNDS/
aimsDespite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative supportive care, radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is the only modality that can achieve long-term survival. We chronologically investigated surgical and oncological outcomes of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and analyzed the factors affecting overall survival.
methodsWe retrospectively enrolled 165 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent liver resection with a curative intent. The patients were divided into groups based on the period when the surgery was performed: period I (2005-2011) and period II (2012-2018). The clinicopathological characteristics, perioperative outcomes, and survival outcomes were analyzed.
resultsThe patients' age, serum CA19-9 levels, and serum bilirubin levels at diagnosis were significantly higher in the period I group. There were no differences in pathological characteristics such as tumor stage, histopathologic status, and resection status. However, perioperative outcomes, such as estimated blood loss (1528.8 vs. 1034.1 mL,
conclusionsThe surgical and oncological outcomes were better in period II. Preoperative serum bilirubin and advanced tumor stage were associated with poor prognosis in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
