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

introductionDuring the anhepatic phase of liver transplantation (LT), fibrinolytic activity increases, since the liver clears tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). We hypothesize that patients who fail to reduce fibrinolytic activity following graft reperfusion will have an increased rate of early allograft dysfunction (EAD).

methodsAssessment of fibrinolysis in liver transplant recipients was quantified with thrombelastography (TEG) LY30. Changes in LY30 were assessed after graft reperfusion. The 30-min post-reperfusion LY30 was subtracted from the anhepatic LY30 quantifying fibrinolytic changes (delta-LY30).

resultsSeventy-three primary LT patients were included in the analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis identified an inflection point of delta-LY30-5.3% as a risk factor for EAD. EAD occurred in 44% of these patients compared to 5% in high delta-LY30 (p = 0.002).

conclusionLT recipients that develop hyperfibrinolysis who fail to reduce fibrinolytic activity 30 min after graft reperfusion had an EAD rate 8-fold higher than patients who had a large reduction in LY30 following reperfusion.
