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

Orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) is established as the definitive treatment of choice for end stage liver disease. Over the years, refined surgical techniques as well as advancements in organ preservation and immunosuppressive regimens have improved graft and patient survival rates. Imaging has also contributed to improved graft and patient survival. Ultrasound is the initial investigation of choice for evaluation of post-transplant anatomy and for identifying early complications. A thorough knowledge of surgical techniques and normal post-operative appearance of the OLT is needed to accurately identify and characterize graft complications. The objective of this article is to review the sonographic findings of normal liver transplant as well as post-operative complications. Indications and contraindications for OLT as well as different surgical techniques will also be briefly reviewed.
