1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAlthough there are various advantages of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) over open liver resection, some problems have been reported, such as disorientation and lack of control of bleeding during liver parenchymal dissection. In this study, we discuss a strategy to overcome the disorientation experienced during liver parenchymal dissection, especially in anatomical LLR. TECHNICAL PRESENTATION: This procedure involves hepatic parenchymal dissection from the hepatic vein branch along its trunk to reveal an important landmark in anatomical LLR. Knowing which region of the liver is perfused into each hepatic vein in preoperative 3D simulation allows the tracing of the hepatic vein branch that naturally leads to the hepatic vein trunk. After that, hepatic resection can be easily completed by dissecting the line connected to the other landmarks, the Glisson branch, the root of the hepatic vein, and the liver demarcation line.

conclusionIn conclusion, this surgical procedure that traces the branch of the hepatic vein exposes the trunk, which makes it a very useful tool for limited laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy.
