Left Intercostal Approach for Laparoscopic Isolated Total Caudate Lobectomy (with Video).

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
backgroundLaparoscopic total caudate lobectomy remains a challenging procedure because of its deep location (Xu et al., Surg Endosc. 35:1138-47, 2021). Placement of intercostal ports can overcome the barriers of the ribcage for laparoscopic access (Hayashi et al., PLoS One.15:e0234919, 2020). We herein present a novel technique in which a left intercostal port was used as the main working port during laparoscopic caudate lobectomy.
methodsAn 84-year-old man with a 1-cm intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma located in segment 1 (S1) was referred to our hospital. We planned laparoscopic isolated caudate lobectomy using a left intercostal port as the main working port. The patient was placed in the supine position. A 12-mm left intercostal port with a balloon was introduced in the seventh intercostal space as the main working port. After Arantius' ligament was divided, the left Glissonean pedicle of S1 (G1) was divided using an endo-stapling device. The surgeon moved to the right side of the patient and divided the right G1, followed by transection to the inferior right hepatic vein. Again, the surgeon moved to the left side, and the left intercostal port was used for mobilization of the Spiegel lobe and parenchymal resection using a cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator, exposing the root of the left and middle main hepatic veins for completion of total caudate lobectomy.
resultsThe operative time was 264 min and blood loss was 400 mL. The patient was discharged on a postoperative day 9 without complications.
conclusionsA laparoscopic approach to the caudate lobe using a left intercostal port is a new and ideal technique providing effective manipulation.
