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
backgroundLiver graft fibrosis affects long-term graft and patient survival in liver transplant recipients. Transient elastography and magnetic resonance elastography are widely used for the assessment of liver fibrosis in routine clinical practice, but are limited in liver transplant settings. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance elastography and transient elastograph in the assessment of liver fibrosis in liver transplant recipients, and to determine the recurrence rates of post-transplant hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis.
methodsA total of 126 consecutive liver transplant recipients were included. Magnetic resonance elastography and transient elastography were performed for to measure liver stiffness.
resultsThe most common cause of liver transplantation was hepatitis B virus-induced cirrhosis (50%). The mean liver stiffness value with transient elastography was 6.1 ± 3.0 kPa, and the mean magnetic resonance elastography value was 2.7 ± 1.0 kPa. A significant positive correlation was found between magnetic resonance elastography and transient elastography in terms of liver stiffness measurement (r = 0.61, P < .001). Obesity and the underlying etiology of liver diseases did not have any significant negative effect on magnetic resonance elastography and transient elastography measurements. During the follow-up, the post-transplant recurrence rates of hepatic steatosis and hepatic fibrosis were 26% and 37%, respectively. The recurrence rates of post-transplant hepatic steatosis and liver fibrosis were slightly higher in recipients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-related cirrhosis than those with viral hepatitisrelated etiologies (44% vs 27%, P = .43; 44% vs 30%, P = .45, respectively).
conclusionMagnetic resonance elastography and transient elastography are accurate in assessing liver fibrosis in the liver transplant setting. Obesity and the underlying etiology of primary liver disease do not influence the measurements.
