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

Introduction: Liver transplantation (LT) offers a lifesaving treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD). There have been conflicting reports of outcomes in younger and elderly patients undergoing LT. This study assesses the outcomes of younger and elderly LT recipients by complications and graft survival at early and late time-points, up to 10 years. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on a prospectively collected database of patients who underwent LT between January 2011 and December 2021 at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Canada. Results: A total of 696 patients who were 18 years and older were included and then classified into two groups: the younger adult group (YG; Conclusion: The patient and graft survival between the YG and OG are comparable at 30 days, 90 days, 1, 5 and 10 years. A history of CAD, smoking and rejection episodes decreased graft survival and age alone should not be a contraindication for LT.
