Short-term effects of modified ultrasonography in laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

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 and aims: Laparoscopic hepatectomy is challenging, and ultrasound guidance is an effective aid but lacks standardization. This study aimed to evaluate a modified approach for laparoscopic ultrasonography to enhance surgical outcomes. Methods: Between January 2020 and August 2023, 122 patients who underwent real-time ultrasound-guided laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma were enrolled and divided into modified and traditional ultrasonography groups. The modified ultrasound application comprised intraoperative protocol-based laparoscopic ultrasonography comprising application scenarios; standardized positions for the surgeon, trocar, and probe; and the resulting standardized sections for various laparoscopic liver resections. Clinical characteristics and perioperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. Subgroup analysis was performed and comprised techniques for modified duct structure identification and portal vein branch puncture; both techniques were used in fluorescence probe-mounted laparoscopic liver resection using negative and positive staining procedures, respectively. Results: The traditional and modified groups comprised 64 and 58 patients, respectively. The patients' background characteristics were not significantly different between the groups. Surgical duration (283.4 min vs. 225.1 min; Conclusions: Modified ultrasonography improves the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic hepatectomy. Ultrasonography is pivotal, especially in fluorescence probe-assisted laparoscopic liver resection.
