Kidney Function After Liver Transplantation in a Single Center.
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND Renal dysfunction in the peri-transplant period appears to complicate both short- and long-term outcome of liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of selected clinical features in the peri-liver transplant period, as well calcineurin inhibitor, particularly tacrolimus given after LT, on kidney function in a single liver transplant center's experience. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total 125 consecutive liver-grafted individuals (82 M, 43 F), mean age 50±13 y (with alcohol-related liver disease in 48 (38%) patients) were included into the study. Their clinical data were collected in the database until 46 months of follow-up, and the Python packages Pandas (version 0.22.0) and scikit-learn (version 0.21.3) were used for data analysis. RESULTS More advanced liver disease as judged by Child-Pugh class and MELD score differed significantly patients with preserved (serum creatinine SCr <1.5 mg/dL) and impaired (SCr ≥1.5 mg/dL) kidney function before LT. Older age and higher SCr pre-LT were associated with higher levels of SCr after LT in 2 time-points. SCr before LT was correlated with delta SCr for the highest and last recorded value (P<0.0001). Higher amounts of transfused colloids during surgery were associated with increased delta SCr for the highest value (P=0.019) after grafting in logistic regression analysis. There were no associations between SCr after LT and duration of anhepatic phase, urine output ≤100 mL/h, or post-reperfusion syndrome during transplantation (all P>0.05). There were no associations between SCr after LT and tacrolimus trough levels in analyses of correlations and linear regression analyses (all P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS We found that pretransplant serum creatinine was the only factor affecting kidney function after LT in our liver transplant center. The restricted fluid policy was safe and effective in terms of long-term renal function. The role of kidney-saving immunosuppressive protocols in preserving renal function long-term after LT was also confirmed.
