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

BACKGROUND Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation (SLKT) and kidney transplantation (KT) after liver transplantation (LT) provide potential treatment options for patients with end-stage liver and kidney disease. There is increasing attention being given to liver-kidney transplantation (LTKT), particularly regarding the immune-protective effects of the liver graft. This retrospective, single-center, observational study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of KT in LTKT patients - either SLKT or KT after LT (KALT) - compared to KT alone (KTA). MATERIAL AND METHODS We included patients who underwent KT between January 2005 and December 2020, comprising a total of 4312 patients divided into KTA (n=4268) and LTKT (n=44) groups. The LTKT group included 11 SLKT and 33 KALT patients. To balance the difference in sample sizes between the 2 groups, we performed 3: 1 propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS There was no significant difference in graft survival between the groups. However, the LTKT group exhibited significantly superior rejection-free survival compared to the KTA group (P.
