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 reviewWe review the international evolution of HIV and solid organ transplantation over 30 years. We emphasise recent developments in solid organ transplantation from HIV-infected to HIV-uninfected individuals, and their implications. RECENT

findingsIn 2017, Johannesburg, South Africa, a life-saving partial liver transplant from an HIV-infected mother to her HIV-uninfected child was performed. This procedure laid the foundation not only for consideration of HIV-infected individuals as living donors, but also for the possibility that HIV-uninfected individuals could receive organs from HIV-infected donors. Recent advances in this field are inclusion of HIV-infected individuals as living organ donors and the possibility of offering HIV-uninfected individuals organs from HIV-infected donors who are well-controlled on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The large number of HIV-infected individuals on cART is an unutilised source of otherwise eligible living organ donors. HIV-positive-to-HIV-negative organ transplantation has become a reality, providing possible new therapeutic options to address extreme organ shortages.
