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 cysts are observed in 83% of cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Although not as prevalent as renal cyst infection, liver cyst infection is a serious complication that is sometimes difficult to treat. We report the case of a maintenance hemodialysis patient with ADPKD who received a living donor liver transplantation alone (LDLTA) due to refractory liver cyst infection. The patient was a 67-year-old Japanese man who developed fever and right-side abdominal pain, and liver cyst infection was suspected. Treatment with multiple antibiotics was ineffective. Many liver cysts were observed on magnetic resonance imaging scans and a cyst in liver segment S6, which produced the strongest signal variation, was drained. The fever subsided temporarily, but multiple infected liver cysts were observed on follow-up imaging examination; 4 months later, hepatectomy and LDLTA were performed. Although LDLTA due to refractory liver cyst infection in maintenance hemodialysis patients with ADPKD is risky and should be carefully considered, it may be the only effective treatment.
