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

Objective The course of cryptogenic cirrhosis (CC) after liver transplantation (LT) is unknown. We therefore clarified the natural course post-LT for CC and investigated the etiology of CC. Methods Eighteen patients who underwent LT for CC were included. To rule out the possibility of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with CC, those with a history of obesity or liver steatosis found pretransplantation were excluded. A liver biopsy was performed one year after LT and annually thereafter. Results Liver steatosis and steatohepatitis were identified in 61% and 39% of patients after LT, respectively, with a median time to the onset of 12 and 27 months, respectively. There were no other pathological findings such as liver allograft rejection, autoimmune hepatitis, or primary biliary cholangitis. The body mass index after LT (28.5 vs. 22.4 kg/m
