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

backgroundWe aimed to validate our algorithm for resecting Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the caudate lobe based on tumor location, tumor size, and indocyanine green clearance rate.

methodsPatients who underwent curative resections for solitary HCC in the caudate lobe were included. The surgical outcomes of patients with HCC in the caudate lobe were compared with those of patients with HCC in other sites of the liver.

resultsAfter one-to-one matching, the caudate-lobe group (n = 150) had longer operation time, greater amount of bleeding, lower weight of resected specimens, and shorter distance between tumor and resection line than the other-sites group (n = 150), but the complication rates were not different between the groups (38.0% vs. 34.1%, P = 0.719). After a median follow-up period of 3.0 years (range, 0.3-16.2 years), the median overall survivals were 6.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.3-7.9) and 7.5 years (95% CI, 6.3-9.7) in the caudate-lobe and other-site groups, respectively (P = 0.430). Median recurrence-free survivals in the caudate-lobe group (1.9 years; 95% CI, 1.4-2.7) had a tendency to be shorter than those in the other-sites group (2.3 years; 1.7-3.4) (P = 0.052).

conclusionsPatients' survival and complication rates in the caudate-lobe group were comparable to those in the other-sites group; therefore, our algorithm for resecting HCC in the caudate lobe is of clinical use.
