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
Laparoscopic liver resection is increasingly favored as the standard of care for liver tumors; however, achieving a good surgical field remains challenging if the resection line is in the paracaval portion of caudate lobe. Here, we report a hepatoduodenal ligament lifting technique using the round ligament of the liver to secure the surgical field. As the caudate lobe was excised from the right side, the elongated round ligament of the liver was passed from left to right behind the hepatoduodenal ligament, and the Endoloop ligated to the distal end of the round ligament was pulled and fixed to the left upper abdomen. The caudate lobe was excised from the left side, and the reverse procedure was performed. These techniques facilitate hepatic dissection in this area by applying appropriate tension between the hilar plate and the liver, and the stable exposure of the posterior aspect of the hepatoduodenal ligament.
