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

Children with intestinal failure suffer liver damage associated with parenteral nutrition: a condition known as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), which requires transplantation of both liver and intestine. In many countries, simultaneous transplantation of these two organs is performed using grafts from a deceased donor, but there have been no such cases in Japan, and the details of the procedure are not clear. Recently, we performed simultaneous split liver and intestinal transplantation in two premature infants with IFALD, using organs from identical deceased donors and achieved good results. These are the first two cases of this procedure being performed in Japan. We report these cases and discuss the important aspects of the surgical and perioperative management.
