Living donor intestinal transplant using a standardized technique: first report from India.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
aimWe describe the first living donor intestinal transplant (LDIT) in India and discuss the indications and problems of this complex procedure.
methodsA 43-year-old male patient required massive bowel resection for gangrene due to thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery. He was maintained on parenteral nutrition but developed cholestasis and well as repeated catheter related infections with progressive loss of venous access due to thrombosis of central veins. A LDIT was performed using 200 cm of small intestine from the patient's son. The graft was based on the continuation of the superior mesenteric vessels beyond the ileocolic branch. The artery was anastomosed directly to the aorta and the vein to the venacava.
resultsThe graft functioned well and he was weaned off parenteral nutrition. However, he later developed complications (wound dehiscence and enterocutaneous fistula) and developed sepsis. He succumbed to sepsis with a functioning graft 6 weeks after the transplant. The donor recovered uneventfully and was discharged on the 4th postoperative day.
conclusionsLDIT can be life saving in patients with intestinal failure and failure of parenteral nutrition. There is a need to introduce this modality in India. In a setting of scarcity of deceased donor organs the living donor option has advantages.
