Achieving textbook outcome in liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: malnutrition's pivotal role.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeTo investigate the impact of textbook outcome (TO) achievement on survival post-liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the associated factors.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 330 patients diagnosed with HCC who underwent initial liver resection at our hospital between January 2011 and December 2019. We also investigated the achievement rates of five TOs and sub-analyzed the relationship between them and malnutrition. The patient's nutritional status was classified following the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.
resultsThe TO achievement rate was 72.7%. In the prognostic analysis, the TO-achieving group showed significantly longer overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Significant differences in age, body mass index, weight loss, muscle mass, serum aspartate aminotransferase level, serum protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II, tumor characteristics, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative transfusion, and nutritional status were found between the groups.
conclusionsTO achievement is associated with OS and RFS post-liver resection for HCC. The TO is valuable for evaluating treatment quality in liver resection. Additionally, malnutrition graded following the GLIM criteria, age, tumor stage, and intraoperative blood loss are independent factors for achieving a TO post-liver resection for HCC.
