Successful Recovery From a Severe Graft Dysfunction Due to Acute Rejection After Liver Transplantation: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Graft failure remains a major challenge after liver transplantation (LT), and rejection is one of its leading causes. We report a rare case of severe graft dysfunction due to acute rejection that successfully recovered without re-transplantation. A 58-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) secondary to alcoholic liver cirrhosis was registered on the waiting list for deceased donor LT. He developed intractable ascites and renal dysfunction caused by hepatorenal syndrome and subsequently underwent deceased donor LT. On postoperative day 23, severe acute rejection resulted in the destruction of approximately 90% of hepatocytes in the graft and permanent renal failure. The peak total bilirubin level was 29.6 mg/dL. Although re-transplantation was considered, it was not feasible due to the severe donor shortage in Japan. Comprehensive and meticulous medical management was continued for approximately four months, and the liver graft eventually recovered, allowing the patient to return to work. This rare case demonstrates successful recovery from severe liver graft failure after transplantation through conservative treatment, and identifying clinical parameters that predict graft recovery may help determine optimal treatment strategies.
