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: A combined liver transplant (LT) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may sometimes be needed for patients with decompensated cirrhosis who also have significant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, such a procedure is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Methods: From May 2012 to August 2020, eight patients with significant coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent combined off pump CABG (OPCAB) and living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) at our center. We analyzed patient demographics, preoperative clinical findings, operative details, and postoperative outcomes. Results: Mean recipient age and body mass index were 59 ± 6 years and 26 ± 3kg/m Conclusion: Combined CABG and LDLT is feasible but poses significant challenges. Careful preprocedure planning, and meticulous intra- and post-operative management involving a multidisciplinary team of LT Surgeons and anesthetists, hepatologists, cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons is required to ensure optimal outcomes in these patients.
