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

Here, we describe a 42-year-old male patient with late-onset hepatic failure (LOHF) due to acute-onset autoimmune hepatitis. At first, his response to steroid therapy was good, but hepatitis relapsed during steroid pulse therapy. Deterioration of liver function caused LOHF, and LOHF has a poor prognosis, particularly when it is complicated by infection. Systemic infection by Staphylococcus aureus resulted in a skin rash and septic pulmonary embolism, and is an absolute contraindication for liver transplantation (LT). In this treatment network, hepatologists and a transplant surgeon cooperated to overcome severe infection and their efforts led to successful transplantation. On-line hemodiafiltration is an indispensable treatment option for acute liver failure. Infection control is crucial for LT and an intensive medical care network led to successful living-donor LT.
