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

Liver transplantation is the optimal radical therapy for patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Milan criteria are widely applied for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) in the western countries. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), however, prevails in Asian countries due to the extreme shortage of deceased donor organs. In contrast to DDLT, the feasibility of LDLT is not restricted by the national allocation system, and therefore the indications for LDLT in patients with HCC depend on institutional policies that consider both the operative risk to the donor and the survival benefit for the recipient. The results of a nationwide survey as well as the experiences of individual centers demonstrate similar outcomes for patients whose tumors fall within the Milan criteria and those whose tumors extend beyond the Milan criteria.
