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

backgroundAt a recently concluded Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association Annual Meeting, a Clinical Practice Guidelines Conference Series was convened with the topic focusing on Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prophylaxis in Liver Surgery. The symposium brought together hepatobiliary surgeons from three continents as well as medical experts in hematology and coagulation.

methodsThe content of the discussion included literature reviews, evaluation of multi-institutional VTE outcome data, and examination of practice patterns at multiple high-volume centers.

resultsLiterature review demonstrated that, within gastrointestinal surgery, liver resection patients are at particularly high-risk for VTE. Recent evidence clearly indicates a direct relationship between the magnitude of hepatectomy and postoperative VTE rates, however, the PT/INR does not accurately reflect the coagulation status of the post-hepatectomy patient. Evaluation of available data and practice patterns regarding the utilization and timing of anticoagulant VTE prophylaxis led to recommendations regarding preoperative and postoperative thromboprophylaxis for liver surgery patients.

conclusionsThis conference was effective in consolidating our knowledge of coagulation abnormalities after liver resection. Based on the expert review of the available data and practice patterns, a number of recommendations were developed.
