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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of different reperfusion techniques in liver transplantation based on network meta-analysis.

methodLiterature retrieval was conducted in globally recognized databases, namely, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central, to address relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the clinical effects of respective reperfusion techniques in liver transplantation. Short- and long-term parametric data, including ICU stay, dysfunction rate (DFR), biliary complications (BC), 1-year graft survival (GS), and patient survival (PS), were quantitatively pooled and estimated based on the Bayesian theorem. The

resultsSeven RCTs containing 6 different techniques were finally included for network meta-analysis. The results indicated that retrograde vena cava (RVC) reperfusion possessed the highest possibility of revealing the best clinical effects on DFR (SUCRA,

conclusionsCurrent evidence demonstrated that RVC and portal-arterial reperfusion (simultaneously initialized) revealed superior clinical effects, compared to other interventions. Investigation of these 2 techniques should be a future research direction, and more high-quality RCTs are expected.
