Advances in the postoperative care of the liver transplant recipient.
Review in Current opinion in critical care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purpose of reviewSurvival rates following liver transplantation now exceed 90% at one year. However, the patient group undergoing liver transplantation is increasingly complex, requiring continued focus on improving perioperative care to sustain these survival outcomes. This review highlights recent advances in the postoperative care of the liver transplantation patient. RECENT
findingsModern care integrates Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) principles, which emphasise early mobilisation and device minimisation. Risk stratification has become increasingly sophisticated, with frailty and cardiopulmonary exercise testing providing powerful prognostic information; emerging machine learning approaches may further refine personalised risk prediction.Goal-directed haemodynamic management is advocated, with restrictive fluid strategies and viscoelastic haemostatic assays to minimise transfusion. Advances in graft optimisation have expanded the donor pool: normothermic regional perfusion reduces ischaemic cholangiopathy in donation after cardiac death grafts, while machine perfusion systems show promise in improving early graft function.Advanced organ support (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) requires careful graft-conscious management. Infection prevention strategies include tailored prophylaxis approaches. Nutrition and structured prehabilitation/rehabilitation programmes support recovery, reduce complications and address persistent functional deficits. SUMMARY: Collectively, these developments reflect a shift toward personalised, multidisciplinary postoperative care, aimed at improving both survival and quality of life for liver transplantation recipients.
