Meta-analysis of postoperative myocardial injury as a predictor of mortality after 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate postoperative myocardial injury, as expressed by the postoperative concentration of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) as a predictor of mortality among living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) patients.
methodsPubMed, Scopus, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched through to September 1st 2022. The primary endpoint included in-hospital mortality. Secondary endpoints were 1-year mortality and re-transplantation occurrence. Estimates are expressed as risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Heterogeneity was assessed with the I² test.
resultsDuring the search, 2 studies were found that fit the criteria and had a total of 527 patients. Pooled analysis showed that in-hospital mortality in patients with myocardial injury was 9.9%, compared to 5.0% for patients without myocardial injury (RR = 3.01; 95% CI: 0.97-9.36; p = 0.06). Mortality among 1-year follow-up was 5.0% vs. 2.4%, respectively (RR = 1.90; 95% CI: 0.41-8.81; p = 0.41).
conclusionsIn recipients with normal preoperative cTnI, myocardial injury LDLT may be associated with adverse clinical outcomes during a hospital stay, but the results were inconsistent at 1-year follow-up. Although routine follow-up of postoperative hs-cTnI, even in patients with normal preoperative levels, might still help predict the clinical outcome of LDLT. In future large and more representative studies are needed to establish the potential role of cTns in perioperative cardiac risk stratification.
