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: Many studies have found a correlation between perioperative blood transfusion and postoperative complications and mortality in liver transplant (LT) patients. The purpose of our study is to identify independent risk factors for intraoperative blood transfusion in liver transplant patients and to explore the effect of intraoperative blood transfusion on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality in LT patients. Methods: A total of 686 liver transplant patients were included in the study, of which 517 (75.4%) patients received an intraoperative blood transfusion (IBT group). Univariable and multivariable regression were used to identify independent risk factors for IBT, and propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariable regression analysis were used to analyze the effect of IBT on postoperative AKI and in-hospital mortality. Results: The multivariable regression analysis revealed that sex ( Conclusion: In our matched cohort, the vast majority of patients, received no more than 8 units of blood. Intraoperative allogeneic blood transfusion does not influence postoperative acute kidney injury and in-hospital mortality in liver transplantation patients. Multicenter, prospective studies are needed in the future to validate our findings. Clinical trial registration: CHiCTR1900024561; https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=41126.
