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

The protective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) against liver ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by hepatectomy remains controversial. We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of RIPC strategies. PubMed, SinoMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Web of Science databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) that assessed the effectiveness and safety of RIPC strategies. The primary outcomes were operation time, index of liver function on postoperative day (POD) 1, postoperative complications, and postoperative hospital stay. The pooled odds ratios and weighted mean differences at 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were estimated using a fixed-effects or random-effects model. A total of 459 patients were included in seven RCTs. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alanine aminotransferase (AST) values on POD1 were significantly different between the RIPC group and the N-RIPC group (P = 0.009 and P = 0.02, respectively). However, the heterogeneity was significant (I
