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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) frequently metastasizes to the liver, significantly compromising patient survival. While surgical resection improves outcomes for resectable cases, many patients have limited therapeutic options.

aimTo evaluate the role of laparoscopic ultrasound in resection and ablation of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).

methodsBetween June 2018 and June 2020, 300 patients with CRC and liver metastases were admitted to our hospital. They were divided into two groups (150 cases each) based on treatment method: The control group (ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid enhanced magnetic resonance imaging) and the observation group [contrast-enhanced ultrasound with Sonazoid (S-CEUS)].

resultsThe study group demonstrated better efficacy (

conclusionLaparoscopic ultrasound-guided resection/ablation improved outcomes in CRLM, reducing complications and enhancing survival. Intraoperative S-CEUS was an independent prognostic factor, supporting its clinical value.
