Impact of pediatric intestinal transplantation on intestinal failure in Japan: findings based on the Japanese intestinal transplant registry.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2013. 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
introductionWe assessed the impact of intestinal transplantation on Japanese pediatric patients with intestinal failure with data from the Japanese intestinal transplant registry.
methodsStandardized forms were sent to all known intestinal transplantation programs, requesting information on transplants performed between 1996 and June 30, 2012. Patients younger than 18 years were analyzed. Patient and graft survival estimates were obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method.
resultsOf the 14 intestinal transplants, 4 were deceased and 10 were living donor transplants. The primary indications were: short gut syndrome (n = 7), intestinal functional disorder (n = 6), and re-transplantation (n = 1). The overall 1- and 5-year patient survival rates were 77 and 57%, respectively. In transplants performed after 2006 (n = 6), the one-year patient survival rate was 83%, and the 5-year survival rate was 83%. Graft one- and 5-year survival rates were 83 and 83%, respectively. The living-related transplant survival rate was 80% at 1 year and 68% at 2 years, compared to 67 and 67% for cadaveric transplant recipients. There were no statistically significant differences in patient (p = 0.88) and graft (p = 0.76) survival rates between living donor and cadaveric transplant recipients. All current survivors discontinued PN.
conclusionIntestinal transplantation has become an effective therapy for patients with intestinal failure who cannot tolerate PN.
