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
backgroundIn laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG), the prolapse of the hepatic left lateral lobe near the lesser curvature and esophageal hiatus can obstruct the field of vision and operation. Therefore, it is necessary to retract or obstruct the hepatic left lateral lobe to ensure a clear field of vision.
aimTo investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of the modified hepatic left lateral lobe inversion technique for LPG.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 13 consecutive patients with early-stage upper gastric adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction treated with LPG from January to December 2023 at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University. The modified hepatic left lateral lobe inversion technique was used to expose the surgical field in all patients, and short-term outcomes were observed.
resultsIn all 13 patients, the modified hepatic left lateral lobe inversion technique was successful during surgery without the need for re-retraction or alteration of the liver traction method. There were no instances of esophageal hiatus occlusion, eliminating the need for forceps to assist in exposure. There was no occurrence of intraoperative hepatic hemorrhage, hepatic vein injury, or hepatic congestion. No postoperative digestive complications of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ II occurred within 30 days after surgery, except for a single case of pulmonary infection. Some patients experienced increases in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels on the first day after surgery, which significantly decreased by the third day and returned to normal by the seventh day after surgery.
conclusionThe modified hepatic left lateral lobe inversion technique has demonstrated satisfactory results, offering advantages in terms of facilitating surgical procedures, reducing surgical trauma, and protecting the liver.
