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

backgroundProbable effects of living donor liver transplantation on the wellbeing of the donor and psychological difficulties are necessary to be understood.

objectiveTo assess the quality of life of living donors after liver donation.

methods140 living donors who underwent hepatectomy between 2012 and July 2015 were enrolled in this study. Donors were asked to complete the Short Form 36-question Health Survey (SF-36) through face to face or by telephone interview.

resultsThe mean±SD age of donors at transplantation was 32.1±7.3 years; 83 (59.3%) of donors were female. 134 (95.7%) were married. The mean±SD BMI was 23.8±3.5 (kg/m

conclusionMost living donors sustain a near average quality of life post-donation. It seems that living donation does not negatively affect the quality of life.
