Suitability of Laparoscopic Liver Resection of Segment VII: a Retrospective Two-Center Study.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundResecting liver tumors located in Couinaud's segment VII is challenging; the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic liver resection for segment VII lesions compared to open liver resection remain unclear.
methodsMedical records of 84 patients who underwent liver resection of segment VII at Kobe University Hospital and Hyogo Cancer Center between 2010 and 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Surgical outcomes were compared between laparoscopic liver resection and open liver resection groups using propensity matching analysis.
resultsThirty-one and 53 patients underwent laparoscopic liver resection and open liver resection, respectively. After propensity matching, 29 patients were included in each group. The laparoscopic liver resection group had a significantly longer operation time (407 vs. 305 min, P = 0.002), lower blood loss (100 vs. 230 mL, P = 0.004), and higher postoperative alanine aminotransferase levels (436 vs. 252 IU/L, P = 0.008) than the open liver resection group. In patients with liver cirrhosis, the proportion of patients with postoperative liver-specific complications was higher in the laparoscopic liver resection group than in the open liver resection group (57% vs 11%, P = 0.049), although there was no significant difference in postoperative liver-specific complication rates between the groups in patients without liver cirrhosis.
conclusionsFor liver resection of segment VII, laparoscopic liver resection led to higher postoperative liver damage than open liver resection. Open liver resection may be better for patients with liver cirrhosis to avoid postoperative liver-specific complications. Laparoscopic liver resection could be an acceptable procedure for patients without liver cirrhosis, with some merits such as less blood loss.
