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

purposeLaparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is reported to cause less bleeding than open hepatectomy (OH) in obese patients; however, there are no reports addressing this issue in terms of body size-corrected bleeding.

methodsThe subjects of this study were 31 obese and 149 non-obese patients who underwent LH and 32 obese and 245 non-obese patients who underwent OH. Bleeding corrected for body surface area (C-BL) was compared between the obese and non-obese patients who underwent each procedure. A multivariate analysis for increased C-BL was performed using the median C-BL for each procedure.

resultsThe median C-BL tended to be higher in the obese patients than in the non-obese patients who underwent LH, but there was no significant difference (72 vs. 42 mL/m

conclusionsObesity was identified as a risk factor for increased bleeding with body size correction for OH, but the risk was reduced for LH.
