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
Aim of the study: To investigate the disease-specific score and improve the existing scores to better determine the prognosis of patients after liver transplantation (LT). For this purpose, we evaluated the relationship of prognostic scores with 30-day mortality after LT. In addition, we planned to investigate whether the mean platelet volume/platelet count (MPR) would contribute to score improvement. Material and methods: A total of 178 adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit after LT in our hospital between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Model for end-stage liver disease-sodium (MELDNa), Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, and MPR values were compared in patients with and without 30-day mortality who underwent LT. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the predictive factors for mortality. A model was created with multivariate analysis. Results: Our study included 135 (75.8%) male and 43 (24.2%) female patients. There was a significant difference in the postLT-MELDNa score in the evaluation between those with and without mortality ( Conclusions: In our study, postLT-MELDNa predicted 30-day mortality and was much more effective in predicting mortality when evaluated with age. The MELDNa score, which is currently used in the prognosis of candidates awaiting LT, may be useful for the prognosis of patients after LT in intensive care units.
