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 Post-transplant outcomes were analyzed in adult patients with primary extrahepatic malignancies (EHM) who underwent living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Few studies to date have analyzed post-transplant outcomes in adult patients with primary extrahepatic malignancies (EHM) who underwent LDLT. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study cohort included 109 patients who were treated for EHM more than 6 months before LDLT between January 2000 and December 2022. The clinicopathological characteristics of EHMs and outcomes of LDLT, including EHM recurrence and patient survival, were analyzed. RESULTS The most common primary EHM was stomach cancer (27.5%), followed by thyroid (11.0%), breast (11.0%), colorectal (10.1%), and kidney (10.1%) cancer. The mean and median intervals between final EHM treatment and LT were 84.9±78.0 months and 27 months (range: 6-336 months), respectively. During mean follow-up period of 84.9±78.0 months, 15 patients died. The 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-year patient survival rates were 96.3%, 88.5%, 85.0%, and 70.8%, respectively. Five patients (4.6%) experienced post-transplant EHM recurrence, with 4 dying due to sepsis during EHM treatment (n=2), progression of EHM recurrence (n=1), and pneumonia (n=1). The mean and median intervals between LT and recurrence of pretransplant EHM were 71.6±82.8 months and 25 months (range: 19-213 months), respectively. The cumulative 1-, 5-, 10-, and 20-year EHM recurrence rates were 0%, 3.1%, 4.6%, and 18.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Patients with previously treated EHMs may be considered for LDLT following careful multidisciplinary evaluation and implementation of individualized post-transplant surveillance strategies.
