Living-donor liver transplantation providing an adequate chemotherapy for a pediatric patient with anaplastic large cell lymphoma complicated with liver failure due to the aggravation of biliary hepatopathy by secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

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.
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
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) accounts for 10-15% of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases; it is generally chemo-sensitive and is one of the most curable pediatric cancers. We report here a case of pediatric ALCL complicated with acute liver failure due to the aggravation of pre-existing biliary hepatopathy by lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Although the initial treatment response against ALCL was very good, poor and irreversible liver function due to biliary cirrhosis worsening by lymphoma-associated HLH prevented the patient from receiving further consolidation chemotherapies. To make matters worse, his condition was accompanied with intrahepatic fungal pseudoaneurysm and invasive fungal infection. Thus, we decided to perform an urgent living-donor liver transplantation from his father to correct the patient's liver function and make it possible to proceed with further ALCL therapy. After the living-donor liver transplantation, the patient successfully received consolidation therapy with brentuximab vedotin. To our knowledge, this may be an early reported case of a pediatric patient undergoing liver transplantation during treatment for ALCL. In most patients with HLH-associated ALCL, liver function improves when ALCL is controlled. However, acute liver failure is occasionally observed in HLH cases with pre-existing liver dysfunction. In such cases, liver transplantation should be considered to correct liver dysfunctions if the disease control of HLH is satisfactory.
