Long-term risk of a fatty liver in liver donors.

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
Aim: Approximately 30 years have passed since the first experience of living donor liver transplantation. The time to evaluate the long-term safety of living donors has been fulfilled. Meanwhile, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is increasingly common and a critical problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of living donor, focusing on fatty liver postdonation hepatectomy. Methods: Living donors ( Results: Among 212 living liver donors, 30 (14.2%) detected fatty liver at 5.3 ± 4.2 years postdonation. The cumulative incidence rates of fatty liver were 3.1%, 12.1%, 22.1%, and 27.7% at 2, 5, 10, and 15 years postdonation, respectively. Of 30 subjects who developed fatty liver, 18 (60%) displayed a severe steatosis (L/S ratio <0.9). Five (16.7%) had a prior history of excessive alcohol abuse. More than 30% developed metabolic syndrome including obesity, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Although six (20%) had a Fib-4 index of >1.3, which included a case with a Fib-4 index of >2.67, no significant increased Fib-4 index was observed in the subjects with fatty liver as compared to those without fatty liver ( Conclusion: Living donors with risk factors for developing fatty liver should be carefully followed-up for the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome.
