Spleen volume is a predictor of posthepatectomy liver failure and short-term mortality for hepatocellular carcinoma.

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 study aimed at retrospectively assessing the impact of spleen volume (SpV) on the development of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
methods152 patients with primary HCC who underwent hepatectomy (sectionectomy or more) were classified into PHLF and non-PHLF groups, and then the relationship between PHLF and SpV was assessed. SpV (cm
resultsPHLF was observed in 39 (26%) of the 152 cases. SpV/BSA was significantly higher in the PHLF group, and the postoperative 1-year survival rate was significantly worse in the PHLF group than that in the non-PHLF group (p = 0.044). Multivariable analysis revealed SpV/BSA as a significant independent risk factor for PHLF. Using the cut-off value (160 cm
conclusionThese results suggest SpV as a predictor of PHLF and short-term mortality in patients who underwent hepatectomy for HCC. Moreover, SpV measurement is a simple and potentially useful method for predicting PHLF in patients with HCC.
