¹Standardized mean difference (SMD). SMD indicate very small differences for values less than 0.10; 0.1-0.3. Small differences; 0.3-0.5, moderate differences; and values higher than 0.5, large differences.

²Student’s t test.

³McNemar test.

⁴Chi-square test.

IPTW: Inverse probability of treatment weighting; RSLT: Right-sided ligamentum teres; LT: Ligamentum teres; RGB: Right-sided gallbladder; LGB: Left-sided gallbladder; PVA: Portal venous anomalies; SMD: Standardized mean difference; GB: Gallbladder.
