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 surgery offers a caudal "look-up" view that may facilitate caudate lobe resection. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 79-year-old woman with mid-rectal adenocarcinoma developed a solitary caudate lobe metastasis. She received neoadjuvant FOLFOX (4 cycles) and experienced an ischemic stroke with full neurologic recovery. After multidisciplinary review and medical optimization, curative-intent local therapy was recommended. We performed a robotic total caudate lobectomy (Spiegel lobe, paracaval portion, and caudate process) with Arantius-ligament hanging, IOUS guidance, and ICG negative staining. Operative time was 316 minutes; estimated blood loss was 200 mL. Intermittent Pringle occlusion totaled 55 minutes. Length of stay was 5 days. Final pathology demonstrated metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (3 cm) with an R0 resection (closest margin <1 mm).

conclusionsRobotic high dorsal resection is feasible in selected patients. Combining Arantius-ligament hanging with IOUS and ICG negative staining provides stable exposure along the retrohepatic inferior vena cava and objective segmental delineation to support a margin-oriented segment I resection.
