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

Renal dysfunction is a common comorbidity in patients with liver failure and is a well-established predictor of both morbidity and mortality among patients awaiting liver transplantation. The etiology of renal failure in patients with cirrhosis can be functional, structural, or represent a combination of potentially reversible physiologic changes and permanent histologic damage. Diagnostic criteria for acute and chronic kidney disease have been established, but cirrhosis poses challenges for accurate assessment of renal function with conventional clinical methods such as serum creatinine and creatinine-based estimating equations. Renal biopsies can have an important role for defining permanent structural damage as part of the pre-transplant evaluation of patients with liver disease; however, coagulopathy, portal hypertension and ascites increase the risk of biopsy-associated complications in cirrhotic patients. While renal dysfunction due to hepatorenal physiology is potentially reversible after liver transplantation, simultaneous kidney liver transplantation and kidney after liver transplant can also improve outcomes in a subset of patients with irreversible renal injury.
