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

Objective: The efficacy and clinical outcomes of emergent rituximab-based desensitization therapy in ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABO-I LT) remain poorly characterized. In this study, we analyzed a single-center cohort of emergency ABO-I LT recipients to delineate key clinical features and identify independent predictors of post-transplant survival. Methods: Between January 1, 2015, and August 31, 2021, 1015 (90.2%) recipients received ABO-compatible (ABO-C) deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT), and 110 (9.8%) received ABO-I DDLT with emergent rituximab-based desensitization. Results: The ABO-C and ABO-I DDLT groups were followed up for 49.6 and 43.6 months, respectively. Following 1:1 propensity score matching (n=110 per group), the ABO-I group exhibited lower survival rates compared to the ABO-C group at 1, 3, and 5 years (74.0%, 68.5%, and 65.5% vs 88.0%, 83.0%, and 80.7%; Conclusion: Emergent ABO-I LT with an adjusted desensitization protocol is feasible but associated with inferior survival due to a higher incidence of DIHBS. This disparity underscores the need for refined strategies to mitigate DIHBS and improve ABO-I LT outcomes.
