Long-term outcomes of pediatric liver transplantation in acute liver failure
Article in World journal of transplantation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundChildren with acute liver failure (ALF) who meet the criteria are eligible for super-urgent transplantation, whereas children with end-stage chronic liver disease (ESCLD) are usually transplanted electively. Pediatric liver trans plantation (PLT) in ALF and ESCLD settings has been well described in the literature, but there are no studies comparing the outcomes in these two groups.
aimTo determine if there is a difference in post-operative complications and survival outcomes between ALF and ESCLD in PLT.
methodsThis was a retrospective observational study of all primary PLTs performed at a single center between 2000 and 2019. ALF and ESCLD groups were compared for pretransplant recipient, donor and operative parameters, and post-operative outcomes including graft and patient survival.
resultsOver a 20-year study period, 232 primary PLTs were performed at our center; 195 were transplanted for ESCLD and 37 were transplanted for ALF. The ALF recipients were significantly older (median 8 years
conclusionPatient survival is inferior in ALF compared to ESCLD recipients; the main reason is death in the 1
