Anatomical complexity of the right-lobe grafts: influence on the outcomes in living donor liver transplantation.
Article in Hepatobiliary surgery and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The effect of graft anatomical complexity on post-transplant outcomes in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has not been fully elucidated. This retrospective study investigated the association between graft anatomical complexity and long-term graft survival in patients undergoing LDLT. Methods: Overall, 908 adult LDLT recipients of right-lobe grafts were categorized into complex (n=418) and control (n=490) groups based on graft anatomical complexities, such as multiple branches of the hepatic artery, portal vein, inferior hepatic vein (IHV), and bile duct (BD). Outcomes of both donors and recipients were compared, including matched analyses for each anatomical complexity. Results: Five-year graft survival rates were similar between the complex and control groups (83.1% Conclusions: Anatomical complexities of right-lobe grafts do not affect graft survival in LDLT, despite higher BD complications. Notably, multiple IHVs may be a positive factor for graft survival after LDLT.
