Advantages of laparoscopic hepatic hemangioma surgery in quality of life: a prospective study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundSurgical intervention is the most accurate method for the treatment of hepatic hemangioma. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery on quality of life should be clarified by prospective studies.
methodsThe sample sizes of the laparoscopic and open surgery groups were calculated based on previous retrospective literature. Intraoperative and postoperative parameters were prospectively collected and analyzed. Quality of life in both groups was predicted by a mixed linear model.
resultsSixty patients were enrolled in the laparoscopic surgery group and open surgery group. The laparoscopic group had a longer operation time (P = 0.040) and more hospitalization expenses (P = 0.001); however, the Clavien-Dindo classification and comprehensive complication index suggested a lower incidence of surgical complications in the laparoscopic group, with P values of 0.049 and 0.002, respectively. After mixed linear model prediction, between-group analysis indicated that the laparoscopic group had little impact on role-physical functioning and role-emotional functioning; in addition, within-group analysis showed a rapid recovery time on role-physical functioning and role-emotional functioning in the laparoscopic group. Quality of life in both groups recovered to the preoperative level within 1 year after the operation.
conclusionThe advantages of laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatic hemangioma were fewer postoperative complications, lower impact on quality of life and faster recovery from affected quality of life.
