1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: This study was performed to compare perioperative and oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic and open liver resection following transarterial radioembolization (TARE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TARE is increasingly used as a bridge therapy for HCC when immediate resection is not feasible. However, the safety and efficacy of subsequent laparoscopic liver resection compared to open surgery remain unclear. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 65 patients who underwent liver resection after TARE for HCC between 2012 and 2023 at a single high-volume center. Propensity score matching based on age, sex, tumor size, and tumor markers (AFP, PIVKA-II) yielded 18 matched pairs for laparoscopic and open surgery. Results: The laparoscopic group demonstrated shorter time from TARE to operation (99.7 days Conclusion: Laparoscopic liver resection following TARE appears to be a safe and effective approach for selected HCC patients, offering comparable oncologic outcomes to open surgery while achieving shorter hospitalization. These findings support the consideration of minimally invasive approaches in appropriate candidates after TARE at experienced centers.
