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

backgroundMinimally invasive liver resections, particularly right hepatectomy, are technically challenging. Single-port (SP) laparoscopic liver resection has been constrained by restricted triangulation and unfavorable ergonomics.

resultsThe procedure was completed successfully without conversion or additional ports. Operative time was 241 minutes and estimated blood loss was 100 mL without transfusion. Pathologic examination confirmed IPNB with high-grade dysplasia and no invasion. Resection margins were negative. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 without complications.

conclusionThis case demonstrates the technical feasibility and perioperative safety of robotic SP right hepatectomy in complex hepatobiliary disease. Although limitations remain - such as restricted working space and lack of integrated energy devices - the ergonomic and precision advantages of the SP platform suggest potential for broader adoption and improved clinical outcomes.
