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

backgroundThe paracaval portion of the caudate lobe is located in the core of the liver. Lesions originating in the paracaval portion often cling to or even invade major hepatic vascular structures. The traditional open anterior hepatic transection approach has been adopted to treat paracaval-originating lesions. With the development of laparoscopic surgery, paracaval-originating lesions are no longer an absolute contraindication for laparoscopic liver resection. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection for resecting paracaval-originating lesions.

methodsThis study included 15 patients who underwent laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection for paracaval-originating lesion resection between August 2017 and April 2020. The perioperative indicators, follow-up results, operative techniques and surgical indications were retrospectively evaluated.

resultsAll patients underwent laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection for paracaval-originating lesion resection. The median operation time was 305 min (220-740 min), the median intraoperative blood loss was 400 ml (250-3600 ml), and the median length of postoperative hospital stay was 9 days (5-20 days). No conversion to laparotomy or perioperative deaths occurred. Six patients had Clavien grade III-IV complications (III/IV, 5/1). Two patients developed tumor recurrence after 13 months and 8 months.

conclusionAlthough technically challenging, laparoscopic anterior hepatic transection is still a safe and feasible procedure for resecting paracaval-originating lesions in select patients.
