Intraoperative low-dose dopamine is associated with worse survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: A propensity score matching analysis.

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
Background: Dopamine is widely used in patients during surgery. We evaluated the association between intraoperative low-dose dopamine administration and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Consecutive patients with nonmetastatic HCC who underwent radical hepatectomy were enrolled between 2008 and 2010. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic factors for RFS and OS. Survival outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analyses with the log-rank test. A one-to-one propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce confounding bias. Results: A total of 805 HCC patients, including 699 patients who did not receive dopamine consumption and 106 patients who received low-dose dopamine during the operation, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients who were assigned low-dose dopamine had worse RFS ( Conclusions: Intraoperative low-dose dopamine use has a negative impact on RFS and OS in HCC patients who have undergone radical hepatectomy. Further prospective studies are required to assess the effects of low-dose dopamine on surgical outcomes in HCC patients.
