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

Patients who undergo organ transplantation are now known to be at increased risk of the development of de novo malignant tumors. This is primarily a consequence of immunosuppression, which may promote tumor development and progression by a variety of mechanisms. It was also reported recently that the relative ratio of lung tumors developing in orthotopic liver transplantation patients was 3.7 times greater than in the general population. We report a case of de novo lung cancer diagnosed in a 65-year-old man 32 months after he underwent liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma secondary to hepatitis C virus cirrhosis. He had received tacrolimus as immunosuppressive therapy after the liver transplantation. The tumor was resected, and he remains well almost 3 years later. Previous reports provide evidence that immunosuppressive therapy is a risk factor for de novo lung cancer; thus, it is important to reduce immunosuppression for orthotropic liver transplantation patients, and to screen them carefully to detect the tumor at an early stage.
