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

Background: Full-size split liver transplantation (FSLT) offers an attractive way to expand the donor pool for adult patients. However, the efficacy and safety of FSLT remain under debate. Materials and Methods: One hundred and three recipients who underwent FSLT were enrolled, and 124 recipients who received whole-liver transplantation (WLT) were taken as a control group. Clinical data and short-term outcomes within 1 year posttransplantation from 2019 to 2023 were compared between the two groups. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Meanwhile, propensity-score matching (PSM) using key prognostic factors was conducted and the results were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for serious complications in FSLT. Results: Thirty-three (29.2%) and 25 (20.2%) recipients in FSLT and WLT experienced postoperative complications graded ≥ III, with no significant differences ( Conclusions: FSLT remains a challenging procedure. However, the short-term outcomes of FSLT were acceptable compared with those of WLT, encouraging the use of this procedure to increase the donor pool whenever possible.
