A Multi-Facility, Randomized, Comparative Study Examining the Efficacy of Biliary Reconstruction Under a Surgical Microscope in Living Donor Liver Transplantation.

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
introductionPostoperative biliary complications in living donor liver transplantation are often difficult to treat, and if treatment is not successful, the patient's QOL is significantly reduced. The frequency of postoperative biliary complications is reported to be higher than that of deceased donor transplantation. In 2013, Lin et al. reported that while biliary reconstruction has traditionally used a surgical surgical loupe (2.5x-4.5x), biliary reconstruction using a surgical microscope (5x-15x) can reduce the incidence of complications. The objective of this study is to clarify the efficacy of biliary reconstruction using surgical microscope in living donor liver transplantation by a multi-facility, randomized comparative study. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: It is an open-label randomized controlled study in which target patients who meet the registration requirements are randomly allocated to a surgical loupe group and a microscopy group after obtaining their consent (Ratio 1:1). The primary endpoint is an incidence of biliary complications (bile leakage and anastomotic biliary stricture) with Clavien-Dindo class III or higher within 52 weeks following surgery. The secondary endpoint is length of time required for biliary reconstruction using a surgical microscope. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study protocol was approved by the institutional review board of Nagasaki University Hospital (No. 20122102-2). The study is registered in UMIN-CTR as UMIN000042011. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will be presented at medical meetings. HIGHLIGHTS: Postoperative biliary complications in living donor liver transplantation are often difficult to treat.Lower incidence of biliary complication following biliary reconstruction using a surgical microscope has been reported.Facilities those use a surgical microscope for biliary reconstruction are limited.The first study to investigate the efficacy of surgical microscope for biliary construction in liver transplantation by randomized controlled trial.
