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: In the general population elevated circulating inflammatory markers have been associated with impaired lung function in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. No studies have investigated this association in liver transplant recipients, and we aimed to investigate if elevated inflammatory markers were associated with impaired lung function in this population. Methods: Adult liver transplant recipients from The Danish Comorbidity in Liver Transplant Recipients (DACOLT) study, with available spirometry, high sensitivity (hs)-CRP, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, interferon (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were included. Outcomes were forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV Results: We included 335 liver transplant recipients. The prevalence of airflow limitation and PRISm was 11.6% and 24.5%, respectively. The median FEV Conclusion: Elevated hs-CRP was associated with impaired lung function indicating that systemic inflammation may be part of the pathophysiology of impaired lung function in liver transplant recipients.
