Comparison of the Extent Classification and the New Complexity Classification of Hepatectomy for Prediction of Surgical Outcomes: a Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
backgroundIn predicting the risk for posthepatectomy complications, hepatectomy is traditionally classified into minor or major resection based on the number of resected segments. Recently, a new hepatectomy complexity classification was proposed. This study aimed to compare the value of the traditional and that of the new classification in perioperative outcomes prediction.
methodsDemographics, perioperative laboratory tests, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, and follow-up data of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent liver resection were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsA total of 302 patients were included in our study. Multivariable analysis of intraoperative variables showed that the complexity classification could independently predict the occurrence of blood loss > 800 mL, operation time > 4 h, intraoperative transfusion, and the use of Pringle's maneuver (all p < 0.05). For postoperative outcomes, the high-complexity group was independently associated with severe complications, and hepatic-related complications (all p < 0.05); the traditional classification was independently associated only with posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) (p = 0.004).
conclusionsComplexity classification could be used to assess the difficulty of surgery and was independently associated with postoperative complications. The traditional classification did not reflect operation complexity and was associated only with PHLF.
