1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and Aim: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) after major hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) is a challenge to overcome. However, the appropriate target proportion of the future liver remnant (pFLR) to prevent severe PHLF in major HPD remains uncertain. This study aimed to determine the minimum pFLR required for safe major HPD. Methods: This retrospective study involved 48 major HPD patients. We assessed pFLR and remnant liver function scores (pFLR × albumin-bilirubin [ALBI] / albumin-indocyanine green evaluation [ALICE]/plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green [KICG]) as predictors for Grade B/C PHLF and established safety criteria. Results: Grade B/C PHLF occurred in 40% of the patients ( Conclusion: To prevent Grade B/C PHLF, a pFLR ≥45% is recommended. Nevertheless, major HPD may be considered in patients with good remnant liver function.
