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

Right liver tumors involving the right adrenal gland or which are located close to the inferior vena cava (IVC) often make it difficult to mobilize the right liver during laparoscopic surgery. As an alternative approach, retroperitoneoscopy offers a relatively easy approach to the dorsal aspect of the right side of the liver and area around the IVC. Therefore, we combined laparoscopic liver resection with retroperitoneoscopy ("retlap liver resection") to exploit the benefits of these methods. The preceding retroperitoneoscopy can be used to obtain a dorsal margin, which is difficult to achieve using laparoscopy alone. In such cases, a retroperitoneoscopic approach can be applied to the dorsal side of the adrenal gland, without mobilizing the right liver. Six patients underwent retlap liver resection between 2020 and 2022 without operative complications. Because no previous reports have described laparoscopic liver resection with retroperitoneoscopy, we introduce our approach and provide a video of the procedure.
