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: Social determinants of health (SDOH) and transplant center characteristics have been associated with access to liver transplantation (LT) for Hispanic individuals. The aim of this study was to identify waitlist characteristics and correlates of odds of LT and waitlist removal by Hispanic ethnicity. Methods: This was a single-center cohort study of adults listed for LT between January 2018-December 2020. Demographic, clinical, and SDOH were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: 375 patients were included. 52.5% ( Conclusions: Distribution on the waitlist, LT and waitlist removal did not differ by Hispanic ethnicity. Hispanic patients had significantly longer time from last drink to listing, suggesting referral bias. Public health interventions to optimize LT referral are needed to increase health equity.
