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

End-stage liver disease is a life threatening health problem to millions of people worldwide. Orthotopic liver transplantation is the only therapy for the definitive cure at the present time. However, persistent shortage in donor organs limits the opportunity for patients to receive this treatment. Liver tissue engineering aims to overcome this restriction by generating functional tissue constructs for treatment of individuals with the end-stage liver disease. Recently, a new strategy has emerged using the natural organ scaffold as a vehicle for liver tissue engineering. This involves preparation of decellularized scaffold containing the circulatory framework of the natural organ system. Currently, surgical performance of liver scaffold transplantation with end-to-side anastomosis of major vessels in small experimental animals, particularly in mice (mLBST), remains technically challenging. Here, we describe surgical techniques of mLBST that can be used for evaluation of engineered liver grafts in recipients.
