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

objectiveTo explore the utility of three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology in liver resection for patients with complex liver cancer.

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, we collected and analyzed clinic pathological data from 105 patients who underwent complicated liver cancer resection at the authors' unit between January 2014 and June 2019. Observation indicators included general demographic information, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion volume, postoperative liver function, complication rate, hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality.

resultsCompared with the complex liver cancer control group, operative time (257.1  ±  63.4 min versus [vs] 326.6  ±  78.3 min; P < 0.001), intraoperative blood loss (256.4  ±  159.1 mL vs 436.1  ±  177.3 mL; P < 0.001), blood transfusion volume (213.3  ±  185.2 mL vs 401.6  ±  211.2 mL; P < 0.001), and length of hospital stay (9.7  ±  3.1 days vs 11.9  ±  3.3 days; P = 0.001) were significantly reduced in the complex liver cancer reconstruction group. Although there was no statistical difference in total postoperative complication rate between the two groups, the incidence of serious postoperative complications in the reconstruction group was significantly lower than that in the control group (3/54 [5.6%] vs 10/51 [19.6%], respectively; P = 0.038). Regarding laboratory investigations, the time to recovery of liver function in the complex liver cancer reconstruction group was shorter than that in the complex liver cancer control group.

conclusionThe use of 3D visualization technology was highly influential in formulating meticulous, individualized surgical strategies for complex liver cancer liver resection with safety and reduced perioperative risk.
