Anterior Versus Classical Approach During Right Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Inverse Propensity Score Weighted Analysis.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEastern data highlight the oncological benefits of the anterior approach (AA) during right hepatectomy (RH) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, to our knowledge, previous western data on this topic are scarce. In this study, the oncological outcomes of AA and classical approach (CA) during RH for HCC were compared.
methodsA retrospective inverse propensity score-weighted fashion (IPTW) case-control study was performed in two French hepatobiliary surgery departments. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and early recurrence rate (within 2 years after surgery) were analyzed.
resultsSurvival analysis was performed for 114 patients (CA group,60 patients; AA group, 54 patients). Before IPTW adjustment, the 3-year DFS rates were 29.4% (AA group) and 44% (CA group), respectively. No significant differences were found in DFS (HR = 1.1, 95%CI:0.62-1.9, p = 0.77) and OS (HR = 1.2, 95%CI:0.54-2.6, p = 0.66). After IPTW, DFS and OS analyses showed no differences between the two groups (p = 0.77 and p = 0.46, respectively). Early recurrence rates were similar before and after IPTW. Satellite nodules were the only significant independent risk factor for recurrence.
conclusionAA and CA did not result in significant differences in DFS, OS, or early recurrence after right hepatectomy for HCC before and after IPTW.
