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

introductionHepatic hemangiomas have occasionally been identified in donor liver grafts. However, rupture of a hemangioma in the remnant liver following liver graft harvest in a living donor has not been documented. CASE PRESENTATION: A 41-year-old male underwent hybrid extended left lobe graft harvesting as a living liver donor for his brother, who had hepatocellular carcinoma and alcohol-induced decompensated liver cirrhosis. Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT revealed a 22-mm hemangioma in segment 6 of the donor liver. Postoperatively, the donor experienced a gradual progression of anemia. On POD 3, contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated an intrahepatic hematoma with active contrast extravasation due to rupture of the hemangioma in the right posterior segment, compressing the right portal vein branch. Emergency surgery was performed, and a large subcapsular hematoma was found on the liver surface. After opening the hepatic capsule, hematoma evacuation, bleeding source identification, and hemostasis were performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home on POD 8.

conclusionsThis is the first case report of hepatic hemangioma rupture in the remnant liver after graft harvest in a living liver donor.
