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

A 57-year-old man complained about abdominal distension and pain, constant feeling of early satiety. He was diagnosed with polycystic kidneys at the age of 24 and liver cysts discovered at the age of 38. The CT scan revealed 33 x 21 x 27 cm polycystic liver with cysts up to 7 cm in diameter. In 2009-2019 the patient was repeatedly punctured for liver cysts. Considering the continued enlargement of the liver and the worsening of complaints, the patient was put on the waiting list for a liver transplant in the spring of 2019. The patient went through liver transplantation on 11th of July 2022, the liver measures were 53 x 37 x 39 x 16 cm and weight 14,75 kg. The postoperative course was uneventful. Liver transplantation can be very effective treatment method that significantly improves the quality of life in PLD patients.
