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.

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: Laparoscopic resection of liver segment 6 has gradually become widely applied. Nevertheless, several intraoperative challenges persist, primarily concerning adequate visual exposure, restricted operative workspace, and precise hemorrhage management under laparoscopy. These difficulties are particularly pronounced in patients with concurrent liver cirrhosis, where surgical risk is markedly amplified. The liver hanging maneuver (LHM), originally devised for extensive right hemiliver tumor resections. In recent years, LHM technology has evolved into several versions and has been applied in laparoscopic liver resection surgeries but remain limited.In this study, a new modified form of the LHM was employed in two patients presenting with liver cirrhosis and segment 6 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), facilitating efficient laparoscopic liver resection (LLR). This modified approach was designated as the right liver hanging maneuver (RLHM). The surgical procedure went smoothly, and the short-term outcomes were satisfactory. Therefore, this method is presented herein. Case Presentation: Two patients preoperatively diagnosed with HCC secondary to hepatitis B-related cirrhosis underwent laparoscopic segment 6 resection. One case involved decompensated cirrhosis with Child-Pugh grade B hepatic function, whereas the other case was a 72-year-old individual with multiple comorbidities, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes mellitus. During the procedure, the RLHM technique, in conjunction with intraoperative ultrasonography, enabled rapid and complete tumor excision. Intraoperative blood loss in both cases remained below 100 mL, no transfusion was necessary, and postoperative outcomes were favorable. Conclusion: This report highlights the advantages of the RLHM technique for liver cirrhosis patients with Segment 6 HCC. It is suggested to conduct further extensive research to confirm safety and feasibility.
