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

backgroundIn adults, post-liver transplantation anemia (PLTA) is common, but its characteristics and long-term influence on major outcomes have yet to be elucidated.

aimWe aimed to assess prevalence, characteristics, predictors, and outcomes of PLTA at 6 months (early PLTA) and at 2 years (late PLTA).

methodsA single-center retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected data from liver transplantations in adults during January 2007-December 2015. PLTA impact on various long-term outcomes was assessed, including mortality, composites of mortality or graft failure, cardiovascular outcomes, and malignancy occurrences.

resultsHundred and fifty liver transplanted individuals were included. There was a 79% prevalence of anemia pre-transplantation, whereas early and late PLTA were evident in 58% and 40% of patients, respectively. Pre-transplantation anemia was associated with development of early PLTA which was associated with late PLTA. In a multivariate analysis, early PLTA was significantly associated with mortality or graft failure at a follow-up of 3 years (odds ratio 3.838, 95% CI 1.114-13.226). Late PLTA was not significantly associated with worse long-term outcomes.

conclusionsEarly and late PLTA are prevalent among liver transplanted patients. Early PLTA is associated with long-term mortality or graft failure.
