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

backgroundRepeated application of the Pringle maneuver is a key obstacle to safe minimally invasive repeat liver resection (MISRLR). However, limited technical guidance is available.

aimTo study the utility of newly developed Pringle taping method guided by liver surface in MISRLR.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 72 cases of MISRLR performed by a single surgeon at two centers from August 2015 to July 2024. Beginning in October 2019, a liver surface-guided encirclement of hepatoduodenal ligament (LSEH) was used for repeat Pringle taping. Perioperative outcomes including Pringle taping success, operative time, blood loss, conversion rate, morbidity, and mortality were assessed.

resultsLaparoscopic and robotic approaches were used in 63 patients and 9 patients, respectively. The median operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay were 331.5 minutes, 70 mL, and 8 days, respectively. Open conversion occurred in two cases (2.8%) due to severe adhesions and right renal vein injury. Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III complications occurred in 5.6% of cases with no mortality. Anti-adhesion barriers were used in 54 patients (75.0%). LSEH was attempted in 57 cases, improving Pringle taping success from 33.0% to 91.4% (

conclusionThe newly developed LSEH technique for Pringle taping in MISRLR was feasible, enhancing safety and reproducibility even in patients with a history of open liver resection.
