Preoperative assessment of the risk factors that help to predict the prognosis after living donor liver transplantation.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to analyze various risk factors and to assess the preoperative risk score, which can predict the prognosis after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).
methodsFrom February 2002 to August 2007, 84 adult to adult living donor liver transplantation donors and recipients were analyzed. First, the donor, recipient, and intraoperative factors were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. We then gave a score of one point for each significant marginal factor (total point scores were called "risk score") and each risk score was examined by univariate analyses.
resultsRecipients with the donor age 50 years or older, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score (> or =21), and hepatitis C virus-positive status had a significantly poor survival. Recipients between the risk score of 0 vs. scores of 2 + 3 (p < 0.001, log-rank) and risk score of 1 vs. scores of 2 + 3 (p = 0.003, log-rank) had significantly different survival.
conclusionsPreoperative assessment of the risk score might help to predict recipient outcomes after living donor liver transplantation.
