Laparoscopic hepatectomy for the treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
Article in Parasite (Paris, France), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAt present, laparoscopy is relatively mature as a minimally invasive technique, but there are few reports on this approach for the radical treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) for AE treatment.
resultsA retrospective review of medical records obtained from 13 patients diagnosed with AE between January 2018 and December 2019 and treated with laparoscopic hepatectomy was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. All patients (n = 13) underwent hepatic resection using laparoscopy and none were transferred to open surgery. The average duration of surgery was 285 min (145-580 min). Intraoperative bleeding was 305 mL (20-2000 mL). The mean duration of postoperative catheterization was 6.9 days (3-21 days), and postoperative hospital stay was 7.2 days (4-14 days). No complication of Clavien-Dindo grade III or above occurred, except for the second patient with acute liver failure post-surgically. No recurrences or deaths were observed at 9-30 months of follow-up.
conclusionsLaparoscopic hepatectomy appears to be safe and effective in selected AE patients. The advantages of this technique for AE treatment need to be further compared with the classical open approach.
