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

introductionThis case report illustrates the significant role that 3D technology can play in major hepatic surgery, aiding in the determination of the optimal surgical approach. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a patient with metachronous liver metastasis from rectal cancer involving segments 6 and 7, extending to retroperitoneal structures such as the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the right renal vein (RRV). DISCUSSION: After confirming the feasibility of a right hepatectomy, we opted for a traditional posterior approach, avoiding the hanging maneuver. The 3D rendering was instrumental in this decision, revealing that the mass was in close proximity to the IVC at the 11 o'clock position, a critical area for surgical instruments during the hanging maneuver.

conclusionWhen 2D imaging fails to provide sufficient information, 3D rendering can substantially aid the decision-making process.
