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 reviewFrailty is an emerging concept in liver transplantation. We reviewed the literature for the tests of frailty which have been validated to predict outcomes in patients with cirrhosis evaluated for liver transplantation. RECENT

findingsSeveral tools have been developed to further stratify risk of adverse events independent of liver disease severity. These include tests of disability such as activities of daily living and the Karnofsky Performance Score as well as tests of physical frailty such as the Liver Frailty Index (hand-grip, chair stands, and balance). SUMMARY: Increasingly, the frailty assessment is seen as a critical component of the liver transplant evaluation. Further research is needed to clarify the optimal timing of testing and the implications of longitudinal change.
