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

Paracaval-originating cancers have been considered a contraindication for laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). This study aimed to explore the safety and feasibility of LLR in the treatment of paracaval-originating cancers. This study included 11 patients who underwent LLR and 20 who underwent open liver resection (OLR) for paracaval-originating cancers between May 2010 and November 2020. The outcomes of the procedures were retrospectively analyzed. There were no cases of perioperative death or conversion to laparotomy. The LLR group had an earlier postoperative feeding time, shorter postoperative hospital stay, and lower total bilirubin levels on the first day after surgery. No significant differences in the incidence of overall postoperative complications were noted between the LLR and OLR groups, but the incidence of grade IIIa complications was significantly higher in the LLR group than in the OLR group. Tumor recurrence occurred in 4 of 11 patients in the LLR group and in 11 of 20 patients in the OLR group. LLR for the treatment of paracaval-originating cancers is safe and feasible in selected patients.
