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

High dorsal resection (HDR) of the liver is a systematic resection technique for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arising in the caudate lobe. HDR is rarely performed, as the procedure requires a high level of operative skill, knowledge of liver anatomy and is performed in patients with limited hepatic function. Between 2002 and 2012, we performed HDR on 9 patients. The median operation time was 534 min (range, 349-903 min), and the median blood loss volume was 430 mL (range, 94-4,530 mL). The severe morbidity rate was 11.1%, but there was no operative mortality, and the median hospitalization was 13 days (range, 8-93 days). The overall survival was 49.7 months (range, 3.1-89.0 months). Despite the hard-to-approach anatomic location, HDR can be carried out safely with good survival compared to other segments.
