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

Vascular air embolism (VAE) during liver transplantation usually occurs during the dissection phase of the procedure or during liver reperfusion. If this phenomenon occurs, it can cause significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurological complications. Prompt identification of VAE is essential, and the surgeon should be immediately notified. The mainstay treatment is identification and rectification of the source of the air embolus, hemodynamic support, and prevention of further air entrainment. This case report describes the occurrence of a pulmonary air embolism during the preanhepatic phase of an orthotopic liver transplant.
