Relevant clinical factors for early extubation in living-donor liver transplantation: A single-center retrospective cohort study.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundClinical guidelines for early extubation after liver transplantation remain lacking, with significant variations in the rates of early extubation across transplantation centers.
aimTo identify clinical factors, including the use of epidural analgesia, associated with early extubation in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT).
methodsThe medical records of LDLT recipients were analyzed in this study, categorizing them based on extubation timing as delayed (leaving the operating room without extubation) or early (tracheal tube removed immediately after surgery). A multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was performed. Subgroup analysis was conducted, excluding patients contraindicated for epidural analgesia owing to significant coagulopathy.
resultsTotal of 159 patients, 93 (58.5%) underwent early extubation. Relevant clinical factors of early extubation were shorter anhepatic time [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.439, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.232-0.831;
conclusionShorter anhepatic time, absence of high-dose vasoactive drug use at the end of surgery, and the use of epidural analgesia are relevant clinical factors of early extubation following LDLT.
