Effect of low central venous pressure on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
Trial report in Surgery today, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
purposeTo investigate the effect of the low central venous pressure (LCVP) technique on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing liver transplantation.
methodsSixty-five adult patients were randomly divided into a LCVP group (n = 33) and a control group (n = 32). The CVP was maintained below 5 mmHg or 40 % lower than baseline in the LCVP group, by manipulating the patient's posture, limiting infusion volume, and administration of nitroglycerine. Recipients in the control group received standard care. The volume of intraoperative blood loss and transfusion, and postoperative pulmonary complications of the two groups were compared.
resultsThe LCVP group had a significantly earlier tracheal extubation (33 ± 33 vs. 53 ± 36 h, P < 0.05), and lower rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (42.8 vs. 71.4 %, P < 0.05) in comparison to the control group. The most frequent complication was pleural effusion (28.5 vs. 67.8 %, P < 0.05), followed by pneumonia (24.2 vs. 57.1 %, P < 0.05) and pulmonary edema (3.1 vs. 14.3 %, P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe LCVP technique during liver transplantation could decrease postoperative pulmonary complications.
