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

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the psychosocial status (mood, sleep quality, and activities of daily living) of candidates on an orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) waiting list and to identify the association between psychosocial factors and MELD score in end-stage liver disease (ESLD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-three OLT waiting list candidates completed 4 scales (Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression [HAMD-17], Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale [HAM-A], Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI], Activities of Daily Living Scale [ADL]) to assess their affective status, sleep quality, and daily living ability. Candidates were divided into 2 groups, the high MELD score group (MELD score ≥15) and the low MELD score group (MELD score.
