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
introductionCompared to viewing three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed images in a planar format, visualizing them in stereoscopic 3D using virtual reality technology enables intuitive and rapid recognition of spatial relationships. 3D stereoscopic navigation systems are expected to enhance the safety of liver resection by facilitating the precise localization of tumors and blood vessels. We recently introduced a novel 3D stereoscopic navigation system that allows real-time stereoscopic display of 3D simulations from any directional view selected by the attending surgeons during procedures. No reports have described the surgical advantages of the 3D stereoscopic navigation system in laparoscopic liver resection. In the present study, we retrospectively analyzed the usefulness of this novel 3D stereoscopic navigation system during laparoscopic anatomic liver resection (LALR).
methodsForty-four patients who underwent LALR from January 2021 to September 2023 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups, each comprising 22 patients who underwent surgery with or without the current 3D stereoscopic navigation system. To determine the advantages of the navigation system, the perioperative surgical results and accuracy of the excised liver volume were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe patients' characteristics were not significantly different between the two groups. The estimated blood loss volume in the group with 3D stereoscopic navigation was significantly lower than that in the group without 3D stereoscopic navigation (118 vs. 218 mL, respectively; p = 0.048). There were no significant differences in the other surgical results between the two groups.
conclusionThe use of this novel 3D stereoscopic navigation system reduces intraoperative blood loss and facilitates precise anatomical identification during LALR.
