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

(1) Background: On 10 August 2017, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) adopted standardized eligibility criteria to properly determine which transplant candidates should undergo Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant (SLKT). Racial and ethnic disparities have not been examined after 2017. Therefore, using the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), we aim to evaluate post-graft survival outcomes among Caucasians, African Americans, and Hispanics. (2) Methods: Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models are used to compare post-transplant graft survival for Caucasians, African Americans (AAs), and Hispanics. Competing risk analysis is used to evaluate the cumulative incidence of death or re-transplantation with re-transplantation and death as competing risks. (3) Results: On multivariate Cox regression analysis, no differences in graft survival are found in AA (hazard ratio (HR): 1.30; 95% CI: 0.74-2.29
