Comparison of efficacy and safety of laparoscopic and open enucleation for liver hemangioma in the right hemi liver: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Open enucleation (OE) is often performed for giant liver hemangioma (LH) because of its advantage in maximum preservation of functional liver parenchyma. Laparoscopic enucleation (LE) has been applied to LHs more frequently for its potential advantages in postoperative recovery and blood loss. However, to date, LE is still a difficult and complex surgical technique especially when the hemangioma is located in the right hemi liver. The aim of this study was to analyze whether LE is superior to OE for LH in the right hemi liver. Methods: Demographics and perioperative data of patients who underwent LE or OE for LH in the right hemi liver between May 2013 and July 2020 were collected. To decrease the selection bias, patients who underwent OE in first 2 years and those underwent LE in next 5 years by a same operation team were included. The data of sex, age, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, largest tumor size, and removed tumor number were enrolled in the propensity score matching (PSM) method to compensate for differences in the baseline characteristics between LE and OE groups. The perioperative outcomes were compared between 2 matched groups after PSM method. Results: A total of 110 patients (36 LE Conclusions: For LHs in the right hemi liver, the perioperative safety of LE is not inferior to OE, and LE seems to achieves a faster recovery from surgery compared with OE.
