Arterial and biliary complications after living donor liver transplantation: a single-center retrospective study and literature review.
Article in Surgery today, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
aimThe mortality of patients on the waiting list for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) is high, especially in countries where donation rates are low. Thus, living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is an attractive option. However, compared with DDLT, LDLT is associated with increased rates of arterial and biliary complications. We examined the rates of complications and risk factors following LDLT.
methodsWe retrospectively investigated and compared the rates of complications of DDLT and LDLT in our institute. We also performed univariate and multivariate analyses to identify the independent risk factors for these complications. The complications and specific disadvantages of LDLT were reviewed and discussed.
resultsThe incidence rate of arterial complications in LDLT was 6.0%, compared with 3.2% (13/441) in DDLT. A multivariate analysis identified low body weight (P = 0.032) as the only independent risk factor for hepatic artery thrombosis. The rate of all biliary complications in LDLT was 17.3%, compared with 18.7% in DDLT. The risk factors for biliary stricture identified by the multivariate analysis were recurrent cholangitis and the number of bile ducts. The durations of hospital stay and overall survival rates were similar between the two groups.
conclusionGiven the shortage of deceased donor organs, we believe that LDLT is acceptable in an attempt to meet demand.
