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

backgroundDepending on a transplant center's level of experience, utilization of pure laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy (PLDRH) may be limited due to graft size or anatomical variations. Here, we aimed to evaluate the influence of large hepatic grafts (≥ 1000 g) when performing PLDRH in both donors and recipients of such grafts.

methodsMedical records of living donors who underwent either PLDRH from November 2015 to August 2019 or open conventional donor right hepatectomy (CDRH) from January 2010 to August 2019 and those of the graft recipients were retrospectively reviewed. Donors were separated into three groups: PLDRH graft ≥ 1000 g (n = 10; study group), PLDRH graft < 1000 g (n = 280; control-I group), and CDRH graft ≥ 1000 g (n = 24; control-II group).

resultsTotal operative duration (P = 0.017) and warm ischemia time (P < 0.001) were significantly longer in the study than in the control-I and control-II groups, respectively. ΔAlanine aminotransferase% was significantly lower in the study than in the control-I group (P = 0.001). There was no significant difference in minor complication incidence between the study and control-I (P = 0.068) and control-II (P = 0.618) donors. There were no major complications in the study and control-II donors, whereas six control-I donors (2.1%) experienced a major complication (P = 1.000). Length of hospitalization was significantly shorter in the study than in the control-II group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in early and late major complication incidence for recipients between the study and control-I and control-II groups.

conclusionsPLDRH for grafts weighing ≥ 1000 g appears to be safe and feasible when performed by experienced surgeons in a well-equipped center.
