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

Liver transplantation (LT) for hepatic malignancies is becoming increasingly common, largely because it offers superior survival relative to other treatment approaches. LT is well-accepted for primary liver cancers such as hepatocellular carcinoma and perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and is being increasingly accepted for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and metastases of colorectal cancer or neuroendocrine tumors to the liver. Over time, indications for transplant oncology have broadened, as has the acceptable disease burden for transplantation, particularly with the advent of new neoadjuvant therapies. Other current frontiers in the field include expanding the donor pool through living donors, extended criteria donors, machine perfusion and increasing access to LT for people from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Expanding access to LT can offer renewed hope for long-term survival to patients with primary and secondary liver cancer.
