Risk factors and prognosis of postoperative hepatic dysfunction after Stanford type A aortic dissection repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundEvidence on postoperative hepatic dysfunction after Stanford type A aortic dissection repair remains limited. Existing studies have used heterogeneous definitions and have reported inconsistent perioperative factors and clinical outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the incidence of postoperative hepatic dysfunction, summarize associated perioperative variables, and evaluate its association with short-term postoperative outcomes.
methodsPubMed, Embase (Ovid), Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for clinical studies investigating postoperative hepatic dysfunction in patients undergoing surgical repair for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Pooled analyses were performed to estimate the incidence of postoperative hepatic dysfunction and its associations with perioperative variables and postoperative outcomes.
resultsA total of 960 records were identified, and nine single-center retrospective cohort studies involving 3,234 patients were included. The pooled incidence of postoperative hepatic dysfunction was 37%. Male sex was associated with postoperative hepatic dysfunction (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.10-1.64, I
conclusionsPostoperative hepatic dysfunction was common after Stanford type A aortic dissection repair and was associated with worse short-term postoperative outcomes. Several preoperative and intraoperative variables were associated with postoperative hepatic dysfunction; however, the available evidence was limited by retrospective study designs, heterogeneous definitions, and residual confounding. Future multicenter studies using standardized definitions and systematically collected malperfusion-related, operative, and perfusion-related variables are needed to clarify its clinical significance and support risk-stratification research.
