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

purpose of reviewTo outline the impact of transplant tourism on the type and severity of post-transplant infections that may be seem in returning transplant tourists. This review outlines infections that might be expected and provides recommendations on screening tests that may assist in the diagnosis and management of such patients. RECENT

findingsTransplant tourists may develop unusual or resistant infections that pose a public health risk in their home country. The practice of transplant tourism is associated with a significantly increased risk of surgical and infectious complications after transplant. Returning transplant tourists require a thorough evaluation for active and latent infections. Transplant centers must be vigilant for new and emerging pathogens in this population.
