Safety and outcomes of hemodilutional autologous transfusion in intermediate- to advanced-level liver resection: a prospective observational study.
Article in Surgery today, 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
purposesThis prospective observational study evaluated the safety and perioperative outcomes of hemodilutional autologous transfusion (HAT) in patients undergoing intermediate- to advanced-level liver resection (LR).
methodsBetween 2022 and 2023, 50 patients scheduled for intermediate- to advanced-level LR were prospectively enrolled. The primary endpoint was the rate of intraoperative allogeneic blood transfusion. Secondary endpoints included total intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, postoperative allogeneic transfusion rate, and post-hepatectomy liver failure. Safety analyses of HAT-related adverse events were also performed. A historical cohort of 71 patients who met the identical eligibility criteria between 2020 and 2021 was used for the sensitivity analyses.
resultsOf the 50 patients, 48 underwent protocol-defined LR with HAT and were included in the analysis. The intraoperative allogeneic transfusion rate was 6.3%, and no HAT-related adverse events were observed. In sensitivity analyses using a historical cohort, no significant differences were observed in the primary and secondary endpoints. Among patients with massive intraoperative bleeding (≥ 1,000 mL), the prospective cohort tended to show a lower perioperative transfusion rate than the historical cohort (37.5% vs. 78.6%, P = 0.054).
conclusionNo clinically overt HAT-related adverse events were observed; however, the efficacy of HAT remains unproven and should be evaluated in future studies.
