Early liver transplantation after COVID-19 infection: The first report.
Article in American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) has impacted solid organ transplantation (SOT) in many ways. Transplant centers have initiated SOT despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is suggested to wait for 4 weeks after COVID-19 infection, there are no data to support or refute the timing of liver transplant after COVID-19 infection. Here we describe the course and outcomes of COVID-19-infected candidates and healthy living liver donors who underwent transplantation. A total of 38 candidates and 33 potential living donors were evaluated from May 20, 2020 until October 30, 2020. Ten candidates and five donors were reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pretransplant. Four candidates succumbed preoperatively. Given the worsening of liver disease, four candidates underwent liver transplant after 2 weeks due to the worsening of liver disease and the other two candidates after 4 weeks. Only one recipient died due to sepsis posttransplant. Three donors underwent successful liver donation surgery after 4 weeks of COVID-19 infection without any postoperative complications, and the other two were delisted (as the candidates expired). This report is the first to demonstrate the feasibility of elective liver transplant early after COVID-19 infection.
