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

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by inflammation of the whole bile duct system. Liver transplantation is only approved as a curative treatment when it comes to end-stage liver disease. The aim of our study was to assess morbidity, survival rates and PSC recurrence and the impact of donor characteristics in long-term follow-up. This was an IRB-approved retrospective study. A total of 82 patients were identified who were transplanted between January 2010 and December 2021 for PSC. Among these patients, 76 adult liver transplant PSC patients and their corresponding donors were analyzed. Three pediatric cases and three adult patients with a follow-up within <1 year were excluded from further analysis. Median (range) age was 47 years (18-70) with a median (range) lab-MELD of 16 (7-40). Median (range) ICU and hospital stays were 4.6 days (0-147) and 21 days (1-176), respectively. The majority of patients suffered from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis as a concomitant comorbidity (65.8%). The ten-year survival rate was 74.6%. A significantly lower lab-MELD score was identified in patients surviving for > 10 years (15 vs. 22,
