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

Post- transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) are uncommon neoplasms that complicate the post transplantation period. The incidence of PTLD and outcome post liver transplantation is sparsely described. Children who undergo liver transplantation are at higher risk of PTLD than adults. Risk factors for PTLD include the level of immunosuppression and Epstein-Barr virus status. Immunosuppression in post-transplant patients can cause uncontrolled expansion of B cells. The diagnosis requires high degree of clinical suspicion, radiological evaluation, and tissue biopsy. Risk reduction depends mainly on decreasing patients' exposure to aggressive immunosuppressive regimens and is the initial step in management. Rituximab with or without chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment. In refractory or persistent disease, alternative treatment options like adoptive immunotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant have been explored. Prognosis is determined by clonality of the PTLD and severity of the disease.
