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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundLow pneumoperitoneum pressure (LPP) lowers the incidence of CO

methodsIn this randomized non-inferiority trial, adults undergoing elective MILR for any indication will be recruited in alignment with inclusion and exclusion criteria. After given informed consent, eligible patients will be randomized to either low (≤10 mmHg) or high (≥14 mmHg) pneumoperitoneum pressure during parenchymal transection. Blood, peritoneal biopsies, and liver tissue will be sampled to evaluate intraoperative tissue damage. Sample size (n = 66 patients per group) is calculated based on the current literature. The primary study endpoint is intraoperative blood loss during the parenchymal transection phase. Secondary endpoints include CO DISCUSSION: Minimizing intraoperative blood loss in MILR is a clinically relevant problem, which greatly impacts the procedure's safety and influences the patient's morbidity and mortality. HPP, exerting counter pressure to the vascular pressure, serves for bleeding control in MILR. The risk of CO
