Living donor outcomes in an emerging living donor liver transplantation program: A single-center experience from Malaysia.
Article in World journal of transplantation, 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
backgroundLiving donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has become an essential strategy to address the shortage of deceased donor organs in Malaysia. Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), the second public institution in the country to establish a liver transplantation program, initiated its adult LDLT program in 2017 and became the first center in the country to successfully perform a living-related adult right lobe LDLT. However, data on donor outcomes from emerging LDLT programs remain limited.
aimTo evaluate donor outcomes and perioperative results of an emerging LDLT program in Malaysia.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included all living donor hepatectomies performed at UMMC from January 2017 to June 2025. Data on donor selection, perioperative management, morbidity, and mortality were analyzed.
resultsA total of 30 living donor hepatectomies were performed using right lobe, left lobe, and left lateral segment grafts. No donor mortality was observed. Complications included superficial wound infection (
conclusionAs an emerging liver transplantation program, UMMC demonstrated favorable donor safety outcomes consistent with published reports from established LDLT centers. Continued refinement of surgical techniques, multidisciplinary perioperative care, and public awareness initiatives will be essential for the sustainable expansion of liver transplantation in Malaysia.
