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

Backgrounds/Aims: It is generally accepted that non-anatomical resection (NAR) in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) has comparable safety and efficacy compared to anatomical resection (AR); however, there are reports that AR may have better outcomes in KRAS mutated CRLM. This study aimed to determine the effects of Methods: Two hundred fifty patients who underwent hepatic resection of CRLM with known KRAS mutational status between 2007 and 2018 were analyzed. A total of 94 KRAS mutated CRLM and 156 KRAS wild-type CRLM were subdivided by surgical approach and compared for short- and long-term outcomes. Results: In both KRAS wild-type and mutated type, there was no difference in estimated blood loss, postoperative complications, and 30-day mortality. There was no difference in disease-free survival (DFS) between AR and NAR in both groups ( Conclusions: The presence of KRAS mutation may not be a significant factor when deciding the approach in simultaneous resection of CRLM.
