The Role of Experimental Animal Models in Liver Transplantation Training Programs.
Review in Biomedicines, 2026. 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
Liver transplantation (LTx) is among the most technically challenging procedures in abdominal surgery, especially for patients with severe liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Constraints in surgical exposure, ethical considerations, and patient safety requirements have expedited the implementation of structured, competency-based training programs. Experimental animal models are crucial for advanced transplant training, offering physiological realism, procedural practice, and translational understanding of surgical problems associated with fibrosis. This narrative review critically synthesizes material from 1990 to 2024 sourced from PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar, concentrating on the pedagogical utilization of rodent, porcine, and non-human primate models. We explicitly associate each model with specified training objectives, evaluative assessment instruments, and the incorporation of contemporary simulation technologies. The review additionally contrasts global training norms and suggests a unified, hybrid architecture to enhance skill acquisition, ethical governance, and patient outcomes.
