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

backgroundLiver transplantation (LT) is one of the widely recognised and leading treatments for end-stage liver disease. Nutrition impacts its success. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is usually prescribed for patients recommended prolonged fasting after LT. The supplement of SMOFlipid (soybean oil, MCT oil, olive oil, and fish oil) is easily metabolised to produce energy, and it possesses anti-inflammatory effects; however, SMOFlipid emulsion use raises concerns regarding coagulopathy after LT. This study investigated the postoperative correlation between SMOFlipid and coagulation in LT. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe medical records of 54 recipients of living donor LT between January 2012 and June 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with pretransplant platelet count <40,000/μL and >40,000/μL were assigned to the non-SMOFlipid (n = 23) group and the SMOFlipid (n = 31) group, respectively.

resultsThe coagulation and nutrition profile of patients improved significantly after TPN support. No significant difference was observed in the coagulation profile between SMOFlipid and non-SMOFlipid groups. Although the SMOFlipid group exhibited a higher platelet count than the non-SMOFlipid group on day 7 (P < 0.001), no significant differences were observed in the platelet count on 14 and 30 days after TPN support between the 2 groups.

conclusionTPN using SMOFlipid after LT is a good strategy for improving nutritional status without increasing the risks of bleeding and coagulation in patients intolerant of early enteral nutrition. Moreover, SMOFlipid use may not cause coagulopathy up to 14 days after LT. Overall, SMOFlipid provides nutritional benefits without increasing the risk of bleeding.
