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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation is associated with a poor prognosis; nonetheless, we report two cases of long-term survival after resection of pulmonary metastatic lesions following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The intervals between LDLT and pulmonary resection for the metastatic lesion were 24 months and 30 months, respectively. Regular checking of tumor markers and prompt workup for early detection may contribute to the resectability of such metastatic lesions. These cases suggest that resection of a solitary metastatic lesion in the lung from HCC after liver transplantation may be a feasible treatment for selected patients.
