Comparison of the incidence of reperfusion syndrome and outcomes of liver transplantation among pediatric recipients of partial vs. whole graft: report of six-year retrospective study.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. 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
backgroundAdvancements in graft selection, surgical and anesthetic techniques have improved the outcomes of pediatric liver transplantation over the last few decades. In this study, we evaluate preoperative factors, the incidence of post-reperfusion syndrome, rejection, and survival among 523 pediatric patients who received whole vs. partial liver transplantation.
methodsIn a six-year retrospective observational study on 523 pediatric liver transplantation recipients (age < 18 years old) in Abu-Ali Sina Organ Transplantation Hospital, we collected recipients' demographic data, warm and cold ischemic time, post reperfusion syndrome, and postoperative outcomes, including mechanical ventilation time, ICU length of stay, acute renal failure, acute cellular rejection, re-transplantation, and patients' survival. We compared these preoperative, operative, and postoperative outcomes among whole and partial graft recipients using SPSS software for Windows.
results259 cases received partial and 264 cases received whole organ transplantation. We compared the donor factors, preoperative, intraoperative recipient factors, and postoperative outcomes between the two groups. The donors' age and percentage of macrovesicular steatotic changes of the partial donor graft were significantly higher than the whole donor graft, respectively (33.5 vs. 6,p < 0.001) (31% vs. 17%,p < 0.001). The recipients of partial graft had younger age (3.5 (1.5-8) vs. 9 (5-14) years, P < 0.001) than recipients of whole organ graft. Although partial organ recipients had shorter cold ischemic time (25 (15-30) vs. 480 (390-570) minutes, P < 0.001), they significantly developed post-reperfusion syndrome more than whole organ recipients (14% vs. 7.5%, P = 0.01). The outcome of partial organ recipients also seemed to be poorer compared with whole organ recipients; they had longer ICU stays (18 (11-29) vs. 14 (9-20) days, P = 0.004) and lower survival (61.4% vs. 81.8%, P < 0.001).
conclusionAlthough partial organ transplantation provides more chances for pediatric liver transplant candidates to survive, we observed that physicians have faced many challenges, and children had more complications and lower survival after partial organ transplantation.
