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
Background: Comparative evidence of laparoscopic second hepatectomy using standardized anatomical resection techniques is limited. This study compared laparoscopic versus open second hepatectomy using Takasaki's Glissonean pedicle approach combined with Honda's laparoscopic innovations for recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital (2010-2024). Of 152 patients who underwent a second hepatectomy for recurrent HCC, 72 were matched (36 per group) using the optimal Mahalanobis distance propensity score matching (PSM) across 25 covariates. Results: Laparoscopic surgery was associated with lower blood loss (27.5 Conclusions: Laparoscopic second hepatectomy using the Glissonean pedicle approach was associated with favorable perioperative outcomes and survival rates comparable to those of open surgery in selected patients. Therefore, a multicenter prospective validation is warranted.
