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

The development of tumors in livers transplanted from hepatitis B virus (HBV)-negative donors to patients with hepatitis B and cirrhosis is rare. The present study describes the case of a woman in her 60s who developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in her grafted liver, 19 years after transplantation, as well as a metachronous colorectal tumor. The pathological findings, including clinical, immunohistochemical and molecular results, are described in the present case report. The liver tumor was a conventional HCC and the colorectal tumor comprised a tubular adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry of both tumors showed a loss of expression of mutL homolog 1 and postmeiotic segregation increased 2 in the tumor cells, confirming microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) status. Furthermore, a molecular study detected the presence of genes located on the Y chromosome in the normal and tumor tissues of the liver, proving that the HCC occurred in the grafted liver. The present report also discusses that prolonged use of immunosuppressive drugs to prevent post-transplant rejection, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and MSI-H may have contributed to the risk of tumor development.
