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

objectiveTo analyze the magnetic resonance imaging findings in children diagnosed with neurologic complications after liver transplantation (LT). MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 39 patients diagnosed with neurologic complications following LT between 2010 and 2016. Neuroradiologic imaging was performed using cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Descriptive statistics regarding age, gender, type of complication, diagnostic and therapeutic modalities were calculated and presented as number and percentage.

resultsOur series consisted of 18 girls and 21 boys. Cryptogenic hepatitis (n = 13, 32%), metabolic diseases (Wilson's disease, tyrosinemia and glycogen storage disease) (n = 7, 18%) and fulminant toxic hepatitis (n = 4, 11%) constitute the most frequent indications for LT. The indications for neuroradiological imaging were convulsion and alteration of mental status.

conclusionThese central nervous system complications may present in a variable spectrum and convulsions and altered mental state were the most frequent clinical pictures. Imaging studies were normal in approximately one-third of cases; the most frequent pathologic findings were diffuse cerebral edema, atrophy, and PRES. Clinical history, careful examination and integrated analysis of radiologic data as well as close collaboration and multidisciplinary approach are of utmost importance for establishing the diagnosis rapidly and accurately.
