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

Pediatric intestinal transplant serves as the only definitive treatment for children with irreversible intestinal failure. Successful intestinal transplant hinges upon appropriate management of immunosuppression. The indications for intestinal transplant have changed over time. Immunosuppression regimens can be divided into induction and maintenance phases along with treatment of acute rejection. Intestinal transplant induction now often includes antithymocyte globulin or basiliximab in addition to corticosteroids. Maintenance regimens continue to be dominated by tacrolimus, with additional agents used to either decrease goal tacrolimus levels to limit toxicity or as an adjunct in sensitized patients. Careful monitoring can help to limit serious complications, such as rejection, infection, and malignancy. Future work will aim to decrease variation in practice and identify methods to determine optimal immunosuppression for a particular patient. Furthermore, there is a need for non-invasive monitoring of the intestinal graft and functional assessments of immunosuppression.
