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

backgroundThis study investigated the association between the fibrinogen level and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients who have undergone living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 676 patients who underwent LDLT were analyzed retrospectively. Exclusion criteria included a history of severe kidney dysfunction, emergency operation, deceased donor, ABO-incompatible transplantation, and missing data. The study population was divided into low and normal fibrinogen groups. A 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching analysis was used to evaluate the association between a low fibrinogen level (< 160 mg/dL) and postoperative development of AKI.

resultsIn total, 142 patients (23.1%) developed AKI after LDLT. The PS matching analysis showed that the probability of AKI was two-fold higher in the low fibrinogen group than in the normal fibrinogen group. In addition, patients with AKI had poorer postoperative outcomes such as longer hospitalization, longer ICU stay, and higher mortality than patients without AKI.

conclusionsThe preoperative fibrinogen level may be useful for risk stratification of patients undergoing LDLT in terms postoperative development of AKI.
