Short-Term Monitoring of Graft Regeneration in Partial Liver Transplantation Recipients.

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 Liver regeneration after partial liver transplantation, including living donor liver transplantation and split liver transplantation, is important for successful transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 68 patients who underwent partial liver transplantation and calculated their regeneration index (RI)-based difference in postoperative and preoperative liver volume. We collected clinical data of donors and recipients and analyzed the correlation between clinical characteristics and RI. According to the above results, the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model included white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) on Days 1, 3, and 7 after LT and was used to predict the RI. RESULTS The mean RI was 40%, which was used as the cutoff value to divide all patients to the high-RI group and the low-RI group. The percentage of Child-Pugh C patients was 44% in the high-RI group, which was significantly more than that (21%) in the low-RI group (P=0.038). Among the postoperative monitoring parameters, neutrophil (P=0.044) and platelet (P=0.036) levels declined in the high-RI group on Day 3, while APTT was higher on Day 1 compared to the low-RI group. The predictive model based on GEE analysis achieved a good effect, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve on Day 1 (0.681; 95% CI, 0.556-0.807) and Day 3 (0.705; 95% CI, 0.578-0.832) showing significant differences (P=0.010 and 0.004, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The combination of decreased counts of WBC, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and platelets, as well as elevated PT and APTT on Day 3 after LT showed a good capability to predict a higher rate of liver regeneration after partial liver transplantation.
