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: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) increases operative complexity and complication risks in liver transplantation (LT), but whether it compromises long-term survival with proper portal inflow reconstruction remains debated. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative PVT on perioperative and long-term outcomes after LT and to assess outcomes following individualized portal inflow reconstruction in patients with complex PVT. Methods: Adult orthotopic LT recipients between 2016 and 2024 were retrospectively recruited and stratified into PVT (n=144) and non-PVT (n=373) groups. Baseline, operative, and survival data were compared. Results: PVT patients had higher rates of Child-Pugh B/C (86.2% Conclusions: Preoperative PVT did not compromise long-term survival after LT but increased operative complexity, PV-related complications, and renal dysfunction. When appropriately designed, a non-anatomical portal reconstruction strategy could achieve favorable outcomes in complex PVT cases.
