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

Objectives: Biliary complications (BCs) after adult to adult living donor liver transplantation (A-ALDLT) result in poor graft and patient survival. This study aimed to analyze these complications. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed BCs in 245 recipients who underwent A-ALDLT using the right-lobe graft during 16 years period in our centre. The overall male/female ratio was 215/30. Results: One hundred fifty-five BCs affected 102 of our recipients (95 early (≤3months) and 60 late (≥3months)). They were classified as 67/245(27.3%) early bile leak, 10/245(4.1%) early biliary stricture, 44/245(17.9%) late biliary stricture, 4/245(1.6%) early cholangitis, 10/245(4.1%) late cholangitis, 14/245(5.7%) early biloma, and 6/245(2.4%) late cholangitic abscesses. Multiple biliary anastomoses were independently correlated with Post liver transplantation (LT) overall BCs; moreover, post LT hepatic artery thrombosis or stenosis (HAT/S) was an independent predictor of overall BCs, strictures and leaks. The mortality affected 96(39.2%) cases mostly due to sepsis, bleeding and multi-organ failure (MOF). On the other hand, the biliary related mortality was 10.6% of cases. Multiple cholangitic hepatic abscesses were significant predictors of poor graft and patient outcomes. Conclusions: Multiple biliary anastomoses and post LT HAT/S lead to a poor biliary outcome, furthermore, cholangitis, cholangitic abscesses and sepsis lead to poor graft and patient outcomes, so proper management of those variables is mandatory to improve outcomes after A-ARLLDLT.
