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

Laparoscopically harvested left lateral section (LLS) grafts have drawbacks regarding the size of the graft left hepatic vein (LHV) orifice although they have the merit of cosmetics concerning the donor's wound. We present a case of pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using a laparoscopically harvested LLS graft and describe the refined surgical techniques for graft LHV venoplasty with a circumferential vein patch. The patient was a 46-month-old boy with marked growth retardation who was diagnosed with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2. The donor was his 25-year-old mother. The LLS graft weighed 285 g. A circumferential patch of external iliac vein homograft was attached to the graft LHV orifice after incisions were made at the medial wall of the LHV trunk and superficial LHV branch, which made the graft LHV orifice much larger. The recipient's hepatic vein orifice was also enlarged by unifying the three hepatic vein orifices. Other surgical procedures followed the standard LDLT operation. This patient recovered uneventfully and has been doing well for 1 year. In conclusion, our incision-and-patch venoplasty to enlarge the graft outflow vein orifice was beneficial for reducing the risk of hepatic vein outflow obstruction in LDLT using a laparoscopically harvested LLS graft.
