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

backgroundData on the influence of donor gender on post-liver transplant outcomes is scarce and is lacking.

aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors of mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) with a thorough evaluation of the influence of the donor variables.

methodsAll patients undergoing LT at a single center from December 2011 to December 2018 were included. The main outcome measure of the study was overall patient survival. The mortality predictors were evaluated using Cox regression.

resultsThe study analyzed 202 patients, 118 (58.1%) being males, and the average age was 54.19±11.66 years. Post-LT survival for the entire cohort of 202 patients as assessed by the KaplanMeier method at 1, 3, 5, and 7 years was 81.6, 73.1, 67.6, and 63%, respectively. The only predictor of increased overall mortality was female donor gender [HR 1.918, 95%CI 1.150-3.201, p=0.013]. Weight and height differences between donor and recipient were not related to mortality (p=0.545 for weight and p=0.964 height).

conclusionsFemale donor gender was associated with an increase in overall post-LT mortality, especially for male recipients, regardless of anthropometric parameters. For male patients receiving livers from female donors, infection was the most common cause of mortality, occurring in the first year following LT.
