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

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a new infectious disease that continues to spread globally. There is growing concern about donor-induced transmission of Coronavirus 2 (SARS -CoV-2). For liver transplantation, the COVID-19 PCR test is routine, in addition to epidemiological history and clinical and radiological examination 24-48 h before surgery. One of the liver transplant candidates was found to be infected with COVID-19, as well as the planned donor candidate. Since COVID-19 will be a high-risk operation for both the recipient and the donor, the operation was postponed by giving medical treatment. After the treatment and quarantine process was over, the patient and the donor then had a negative COVID-19 PCR test and the patient received a living donor liver transplant. We present a case of donor and recipient who initially both tested positive for COVID-19. This liver transplantation scenario has not previously been reported in the literature.
