The Sling Technique for Laparoscopic Liver Mobilization.

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
Background: As liver surgery continues to evolve, be it open, laparoscopic or robotic, it remains a procedure that can deteriorate in the blink of an eye. Liver surgery in patients with hepatoma is further complicated, as the vast majority have significant fibrosis, if not cirrhosis. Thus, parenchymal sparing resection is increasingly necessary. Effective and safe intracorporeal mobilization of the liver is essential for minimal access parenchymal-sparing and conventional resection. Methods: This retrospective review of over 150 cases performed provides a hands-on approach to laparoscopic hepatic mobilization with the use of an inexpensive technique using a 1" packing tape to "Sling" the liver in-order to divide the ligaments holding the liver in place and optimally position the liver for parenchymal transection. Results: Use of a 1" packing tape to "Sling" the liver intracorporeally is demonstrated to enable mobilization of the liver for tissue sparing non-anatomic, anatomic and major resections. Conclusion: Use of a 1" packing tape to "Sling" the liver intracorporeally can facilitate mobilization for resection. Surgeons hoping to master minimal access resection should also be well versed in the use of laparoscopic ultrasound and liver transplant "Piggyback" technique.
