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: While chronic complications of substance use are well-recognized in liver transplant recipients, the ramifications of acute complications of substance use in this population are less well characterized. Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2022, we assessed hospitalizations in liver transplant recipients for intoxication or withdrawal from any of the following: alcohol, opioids, sedatives, and stimulants. We compared these substance use-related admissions to all other liver transplant recipient admissions. Clinical outcomes were also assessed. Results: Of the 299,350 hospitalizations for liver transplant recipients, acute substance use-related complications accounted for 2375 (0.8%), with alcohol being the most common ( Conclusion: Liver transplant recipients admitted for substance use-related issues tend to have high rates of mental health conditions and other signals of social vulnerability. Critical illness appears uncommon in these admissions, although there is significant utilization with admission stays averaging over five days and nearly $10,000.
