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

backgroundA proper knowledge of the anatomy of the liver (including its vascular particularities) is mandatory in cases which are going to be submitted to major hepatic resection, including living donor liver transplantation. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a living donor liver transplantation in which a particularity of the anatomy of the hepatic veins was reported for the donor: two inferior hepatic veins for segments 5 and 6. This particularity imposed the need for creation of a supplemental anastomosis in the recipient: a phleboplasty of the two inferior veins followed by direct re-implantation into the inferior cava vein. However, the postoperative course was uneventful for both the donor and the recipient.

conclusionIn certain cases presenting vascular particularities such as two inferior hepatic veins, phleboplasty followed by reimplantation into the inferior cava vein might be needed in order to provide a good vascular outflow of the liver graft.
