Peculiarities of implantation of the right graft veins into the inferior vena cava during living donor liver transplantation.

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
backgroundLiving donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a crucial alternative to deceased donor transplantation, especially in regions with limited access to cadaveric organs. Right lobe graft implantation into the inferior vena cava (IVC) requires advanced surgical techniques to optimize outcomes and reduce complications.
aimTo compare two venous anastomosis techniques-direct polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafting of V5-V8 veins to the IVC
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 patients who underwent LDLT with right lobe grafts between 2014 and 2023. Patients were divided into three groups: (1) No venous outflow reconstruction; (2) PTFE graft direct anastomosis to the IVC; and (3) PTFE graft anastomosis using triangulation to the RHV. Perioperative and postoperative outcomes, including bile duct complications, alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase levels, and graft perfusion, were compared across groups.
resultsGroup 3 (triangulation to RHV) showed significantly improved venous outflow, fewer complications, and faster normalization of liver function tests. Bile duct complications were highest in group 1 (12.8%) and lowest in group 3 (7%). Doppler ultrasonography revealed better graft perfusion in group 3 compared to groups 1 and 2.
conclusionTriangulation to the RHV improves graft viability, reduces biliary complications, and enhances early postoperative outcomes compared to direct PTFE grafting to the IVC.
