Ectopic physiological portal vein reconstruction in liver transplantation for benign portal vein thrombosis.

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
Background: Benign portal vein thrombosis (PVT) presents considerable technical challenges for portal vein reconstruction (PVR) during liver transplantation (LT). This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes, safety profile, and clinical feasibility of ectopic physiological portal vein reconstruction (EPPVR) at non-hilar area for patients with complex benign PVT. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study analyzing intraoperative parameters, postoperative complications, and survival outcomes in liver transplant recipients with benign PVT. Among 120 enrolled patients, 10 cases (8.3%) underwent EPPVR, including three varicose vein reconstructions (VVRs), one anterior transpancreatic bridge reconstruction, and five "pull-out" portal vein reconstructions (POPVRs) beneath the pancreas. Results: Compared with conventional orthotopic physiological portal vein reconstruction (OPPVR), EPPVR was associated with significantly longer anhepatic phase (154.50±45.43 Conclusions: Although EPPVR was associated with elevated perioperative risks, it did not decrease the perioperative survival rate in PVT patients. This reconstruction approach may represent a feasible alternative for complex PVT cases requiring non-standard reconstruction approaches, contingent upon thorough preoperative assessment and surgical planning.
