Association between intraoperative hyperoxia and liver function in patients undergoing hepatectomy: a multicenter observational study.
Observational study 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. 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
purposeOxygen (O₂) is recognized as both a "friend and foe" to various organs, with emerging evidence suggesting potential adverse effects of hyperoxia on the liver. This study aimed to evaluate whether a high intraoperative partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO₂ ≥ 300 mmHg) during hepatectomy is associated with postoperative liver injury.
methodsA comparative analysis was conducted on patients undergoing hepatectomy at a university hospital, stratified by intraoperative PaO₂ levels (≥ 300 mmHg vs. <300 mmHg). Primary outcomes included markers of liver function impairment, specifically elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and total bilirubin (Tbil), reduced plasma albumin levels, as well as increased international normalized ratio (INR), prothrombin time (PT). Secondary outcomes encompassed hospital length of stay (LOS) and postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo classification). Subgroup analyses were performed based on Child‒Pugh score (≥ 7), age (≥ 65 years), surgical approach (laparoscopic), and surgery duration. Additionally, findings were validated in a prospective cohort of 76 patients.
resultsThe study included 292 patients who underwent hepatectomy between January 2021 and December 2021. All patients survived through hospital discharge. There were no cases diagnosed as post-hepatectomy liver failure. Postoperative changes in ALT, AST, Tbil, albumin levels, and INR, PT were comparable between the high and low PaO₂ groups. No significant differences were observed in hospital LOS and postoperative complications. Subgroup analyses yielded consistent results. These findings were further corroborated in the prospective validation cohort.
conclusionsThe findings suggest that intraoperative high PaO₂ (≥ 300 mmHg) is not associated with adverse effects on postoperative liver injury in patients undergoing hepatectomy.
