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

Kaposi sarcoma following solid organ transplantation is a rare and underreported complication, with few cases documented globally concerning its origin from liver grafts. This case report describes an Asian woman who developed Kaposi sarcoma in a liver graft following living donor liver transplantation for end-stage liver disease resulting from hepatitis D virus. In accordance with current guidelines, standard immunosuppression was discontinued, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors were initiated. The use of mTOR inhibitors led to the complete resolution of the liver graft lesions within 9 months. However, subsequent follow-up revealed several complications, including late anastomotic biliary stricture, extensively drug-resistant
