Impacts of primary tumor location on outcomes in patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis vary according to tumor burden.

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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to verify whether the prognostic value of primary tumor location (PTL) for patients undergoing resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is affected by tumor burden. Methods: Patients who underwent a first curative-intent surgery for CRLM from 2006 to 2017 were enrolled. The imaging tumor burden score (TBS) was calculated as TBS Results: The patient population consisted of 524 left-sided (LS) and 118 right-sided (RS) primary tumors. The distribution of TBS in the patient cohort was: Zone1: TBS <3 [ Conclusion: The current study demonstrates that the prognostic value of PTL varies by TBS, and RS tumors are only associated with shorter survival in patients with low or medium TBS.
