Short- and Long-Term Outcomes in Elderly Patients Following Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Liver Metastasis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
(1) Background: Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) has engendered growing attention as a safe procedure for the resection of metastatic liver disease. However, there is little data available regarding the outcomes of HALS for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) in patients over the age of 75. (2) Methods: We compare the short- and long-term outcomes of patients >75-years-old (defined in our study as "elderly patients" and referred to as group 1, G1), with patients <75-years-old (defined in our study as "younger patients" and referred to as group 2, G2). (3) Results: Of 145 patients, 28 were in G1 and 117 were in G2. The most common site of the primary tumor was the right colon in G1, and the left colon in G2 (
