Prolonged balloon occlusion of the lower abdominal aorta during pelvic or sacral tumor resection.

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
backgroundTo explore the efficacy of lower abdominal aorta balloon occlusion technology in pelvis and sacral tumor surgery and to assess the safety of prolonged balloon occlusion.
methodsFrom January 2008 to January 2017, 81 patients were diagnosed with sacrum or pelvic tumor and underwent surgery in our institution. Balloon catheters were placed through the femoral artery to occlude the abdominal aorta of the pelvic tumor and sacrum region undergoing tumor resection. These patients were divided into two group based on single balloon blocking time. Group A had a balloon blocking time of 60 minutes or less, and group B had a balloon occlusion time greater than 60 minutes. The patients in the two groups were compared with regards to operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion volume, average length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications.
resultsNo balloon displacement or leakage of the abdominal aorta occurred during the operations. The difference in operation time between the two groups was statistically significant (P≤0.05), and the differences in intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion volume, and average hospital stay between groups A and B were not significant (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was 12% in group A, and 22.6% in group B, with no statistically significant differences (P>0.05).
conclusionsProlonged balloon occlusion was safe and effective in the surgical treatment of complicated pelvic and sacral tumors. It did not increase the incidence of postoperative complications such as distal limb paralysis, arterial thrombosis, or ischemic necrosis.
