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

backgroundPost-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a serious complication and a leading cause of death after hepatectomy, an accurate prediction of PHLF is important for improvement of prognosis after hepatectomy.

aimTo retrospectively analyze the risk factors for postoperative liver failure in patients undergoing hepatectomy for liver tumors.

methodsThe clinical data of 80 patients undergoing hepatectomy in our hospital from June 2018 to January 2020 were collected. With laboratory examination as well as pre- and post-operative abdominal three-dimensional reconstructive computed tomography, the demographic data, surgical data, biochemical indicators, coagulation index, routine blood tests, spleen and liver volumes, relative remnant liver volume, and other related indicators were obtained and compared between patients with PHLF and those without PHLF.

resultsPHLF occurred in 19 (23.75%) patients. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, history of hepatitis/cirrhosis, and preoperative bilirubin, albumin, coagulation function, albumin-bilirubin ratio, aspartate amino-transferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score, spleen volume (SV), spleen volume/liver volume ratio (SV/LV), and relative remnant liver volume were statistically associated with the occurrence of PHLF (all

conclusionFor patients undergoing liver resection, preoperative total bilirubin, PLT, APRI, and SV/LV are independent risk factors for PHLF. These findings may provide guidance to safely perform liver surgery in such patients.
