Laparoscopic versus open minor liver resections of colorectal cancer liver metastases in a state at war: A prospective cohort study.
Article in Surgery open science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: In 2017 the laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy and minor resections of the anterior liver segments were considered the standard of practice worldwide. However, in 2023 only 5% of liver resections were conducted laparoscopically within the Ukrainian specialized centers. Aim: To investigate whether the laparoscopic minor liver resections (LLR) have better financial, surgical and long-term oncological outcomes compared to open liver resections (OLR) in the two state specialized hospitals in Ukraine Methods: Between January 2022 and June 2025, 205 patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) received either minor OLR or LLR. Primary end-points were the 30-day morbidity, surgical outcomes. Secondary endpoints were hospital costs and the oncological outcomes. Results: There was a difference in postoperative morbidity between the groups in favor of the LLR - 3.8% ( Conclusions: The laparoscopic minor liver resections in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases in state specialized hospitals reduced the recovery period and the postoperative morbidity level with similar oncological outcomes and costs
