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

introductionSitus inversus totalis (SIT) is a congenital anatomical variant in which organs and vasculature are positioned in a mirror-image relationship to the normal condition. Therefore, the surgical procedures need to be carefully planned with these factors in mind. CASE PRESENTATION: A 57-year-old man with SIT was diagnosed with a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and was planned for caudate lobectomy. As preoperative preparation, 3D reconstructed images were created based on the contrast-enhanced CT images, and careful simulations were performed on the vascular anomalies and location of the tumor. There was a replaced left hepatic artery forming a common trunk with a left gastric artery. In addition, using media player software, a previous caudate lobectomy video was played in right and left inverted mode to simulate the abdominal surgical field image in SIT. The operative time was 285 min, and the blood loss was 440 ml. The preoperative careful simulation allowed us to proceed with the surgery without significant discomfort.

conclusionEven in the case of hepatocellular carcinoma with SIT, hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma can be safely performed by careful preoperative simulations.
