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

BACKGROUNDS/

aimsSimultaneous liver and kidney transplantation (SLKT) has been established as the treatment of choice for patients with concurrent end-stage liver and end-stage kidney diseases. The objective of this study was to analyze the nationwide incidence of SLKT in Korea and the outcomes of SLKT in a high-volume transplant center.

methodsDatabases of the Korean Network for Organ Sharing (KONOS) and Asan Medical Center from 2000 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed to determine the incidence of SLKT.

resultsDuring 20 years from 2000 to 2019, deceased donor SLKT was performed for 38 cases in the KONOS database. The proportion of deceased donor SLKT was 0.6% (20 of 3333) before adoption of MELD score, which was significantly increased to 1.2% (18 of 1524) after the adoption of MELD score (

conclusionsResults of this study revealed that the incidence of deceased donor SLKT was very low. An increase of such incidence is not anticipated unless the number of deceased donors is markedly increased. Currently, sequential living donor liver transplantation and kidney transplantation with deceased or living donors are mainstays of transplantation rather than SLKT in our institution.
