Impact of post-hepatectomy biliary leaks on long-term survival in different liver tumors: A single institute experience.
Article in Annals of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Backgrounds/Aims: A postoperative biliary leak is one of the most morbid complications occurring after a liver resection, the long-term impact of which remains unknown. Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive liver resections performed from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2021. Primary endpoint of disease-free survival (DFS) was compared between patients with and without a bile leak, stratifying for tumor type. Survival curves were plotted using Kaplan-Meier estimates, and differences between them were analyzed using the log-rank test. Results: In toto, 862 patients were analyzed, and included 306 (35.5%) hepatocellular carcinomas, 212 (24.6%) metastatic colorectal cancers, and 111 (12.9%) cholangiocarcinomas (69 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas, 42 hilar cholangiocarcinomas). Occurrence of a bile leak was associated with significantly poorer DFS only in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (median DFS 9.9 months vs. 24.9 months, Conclusions: Post-hepatectomy biliary leaks are associated with significantly poorer DFS only in patients with cholangiocarcinoma, but not in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods to mitigate this survival detriment need to be explored.
