Detailed analysis of recurrent sites after wedge resection for primary hepatocellular carcinoma considering the potential usefulness of anatomic resection: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
purposeWe investigated the detailed recurrent sites after wedge liver resection for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 278 patients with primary HCC who underwent curative liver resection between 2000 and 2016. Recurrent sites were divided into four groups: around the initial HCC (segmental recurrence), within the same section as the primary HCC (sectional recurrence), within the same lobe as the primary HCC (lobar recurrence), and contralateral or extrahepatic recurrence (extra recurrence).
resultsRecurrence was observed in 101 of 147 patients who underwent wedge resection. At first recurrence, segmental recurrence was observed in 18 patients (17.8%), while 28 patients (27.7%) were with sectional recurrence and 48 patients (47.5%) were with lobar recurrence. However, the cumulative recurrent sites of each patient showed extra recurrence in 53 patients (52.5%) at initial recurrence, 79 patients (78.2%) until the second recurrence, 89 patients (88.1%) until the third recurrence, 94 patients (93.0%) until the fourth, and 96 patients (95.0%) until the fifth recurrence.
conclusionSome intrahepatic recurrence after wedge resection might have been avoided if anatomic resection had been performed instead. However, the number of contralateral or extrahepatic recurrences increased with the number of recurrences.
