Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a surgical procedure with varying degrees of difficulty depending on tumor status and surgical technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between surgical difficulty levels and outcomes of LLR, particularly portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
methodsWe performed LLRs in 214 patients between January 2009 and December 2022. Among them, 200 patients who underwent pure LLR were allocated into three groups according to the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris (IMM) classification: Group I (n = 152), Group II (n = 26), and Group III (n = 22). The perioperative outcomes were also compared; risk factors for postoperative complications were evaluated.
resultsThe operation time was significantly longer (p < 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in Group III than in Groups I and II. The rates of complications of Clavien-Dindo (CD) grade 2 or higher (19.1% vs. 34.6% vs. 63.6%, p < 0.001) and CD grade 3 or higher (5.3% vs. 11.5% vs. 22.7%, p = 0.015) were significantly higher and postoperative hospital stay (9 vs. 13 vs. 16 days, p < 0.001) was significantly longer in Group III than in Groups I and II. The IMM classification (odds ratio [OR], 5.727; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.863-17.610; p = 0.002] and blood transfusion (OR, 6.410; 95% CI, 2.215-18.549; p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for CD grade 2 or higher complication using multivariate analysis. PVT was the most common complication in patients with CD of grade 2 or higher, occurring in 14 of 48 patients. Hepatitis viral status (OR: 7.552, p = 0.021 [non-B non-C for HCV]) and the IMM classification (OR: 58.767, p < 0.001[II vs. I]; OR: 40.535, p = 0.002 [III vs. I]) were independent risk factors for PVT using multivariate analysis.
conclusionsThe IMM classification could strongly predict postoperative complications, particularly PVT.
