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

The feasibility of liver transplantation (LT) for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is still under investigation with only a limited number of LT cases in literature. CRLM is the most common type of liver metastasis, but it was considered as a contraindication to LT for a long time because of poor outcomes. We presented a case of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) performed in a patient with liver cirrhosis and CRLM. The patient was a 49-year-old female with sigmoid colon cancer and synchronous multiple CRLM. She underwent anterior resection for sigmoid colon cancer and 7 sessions of chemotherapy for CRLM. She suffered from esophageal varix bleeding due to chemotherapy-associated liver cirrhosis. Because of liver cirrhosis and multiple CRLM, the patient underwent LDLT operation using a modified right lobe graft. Serum chorioembryonic antigen level was 220 ng/mL at LT. Explant liver pathology showed multiple metastatic adenocarcinomas of colonic origin, up to 4.7 cm in the greatest dimension. The patient did not receive any specific anti-tumor treatment after LT. She is doing well without any tumor recurrence to date for more than 13 years after the LDLT operation. The experience on our case and literature review suggest that CRLM is not always contraindicated for LT because some selected patients showed improved long-term survival outcomes.
