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

backgroundThe procurement of the liver is a standardized surgical procedure in the hands of qualified transplantation and organ procurement surgeons which is defined in the German guidelines.

methodsLiterature review and discussion of critical aspects concerning the procurement of liver allografts. The procurement of livers should be performed by qualified transplantation and organ procurement surgeons (certification). The technique is standardized in German guidelines. A thoracotomy can help to optimize exposition which is essential to avoid technical complications and injuries to the graft especially in a training situation. Dissection in the cold is recommended. Knowledge of the anatomic variations of the hepatic artery is essential in procuring liver allografts. Documentation of errors and anatomic variations, packing of organs and a standardized closure of the thorax and abdomen are obligations of the responsible leading organ procurement surgeon.
