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

Improvement in immunosuppression has led to a remarkable improvement in short-term and long-term outcomes post-liver transplant (LT). However, with improvements in long-term survival, complications related to immunosuppressive drugs, either directly or indirectly, have also increased. The adverse events could be drug-specific, class-specific, or generic. Calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine and tacrolimus) are the backbone of the immunosuppression after LT and the main culprit associated with most of the complications, including renal failure, post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM), and metabolic syndrome. Steroids are also implicated in the development of diabetes, osteoporosis, and metabolic syndrome post-LT. The development of infections and de novo malignancies (DNMs) is a generic effect linked to the overall cumulative immunosuppression. The development of these complications significantly hampers the quality of life and leads to increased morbidity and mortality post-LT. Thus, it is important to minimize the cumulative immunosuppression dose while simultaneously preventing allograft rejection. This review provides up-to-date, comprehensive knowledge of the complications of long-term immunosuppression post-LT along with associated risk factors and strategies to minimize the risk of complications.
