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

backgroundIn our study, we aimed to investigate the effect of immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation on activities of daily living and fear of death during the COVID-19 pandemic.

methodsThis study was conducted as a cross-sectional study with the participation of 213 liver transplant patients hospitalized in the liver transplant center of a university hospital. The data analysis was performed with IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Statistics 25.

resultsKatz's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) were semi-independent and the total score was 11.07 ± 1.59, and the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) total score was 152.23 ± 5.34. It was determined that the DAP-R score was around 150 points in the minimum and maximum score ranges of Katz ADL after liver transplantation.

conclusionsHigh fear of death threatens resilience and can make patients feel lonely, helpless, sad, abandoned and stressed. Clinicians should spend more time with their patients.
