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

Biliary leakage is a potentially life-threatening complication following liver transplantation and is associated with significant postoperative morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and potential graft failure. Its incidence underscores the need for timely diagnosis and effective intervention. Diagnostic modalities such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography offer both anatomical and functional insights. Endoscopic management with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography remains the mainstay of treatment, while percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography offers an alternative in patients with altered anatomy or failed endoscopic access. Surgical revision is considered a last resort after other methods have failed. Preventive strategies, including machine perfusion and meticulous surgical techniques, are essential in reducing incidence and improving outcomes. This editorial provides a comprehensive overview of clinical management and therapeutic strategies for biliary leakage after liver transplantation.
