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 high demand for livers for transplantation has led to organs of limited quality being accepted to expand the donor pool. This is associated with inferior outcomes due to more pronounced preservation injury. Accordingly, recent research has aimed to develop preservation modalities for improved preservation as well as strategies for liver viability assessment and liver reconditioning.

methodsThe PubMed database was searched using the terms 'perfusion', 'liver', 'preservation', and 'reconditioning' in various combinations, and the according literature was reviewed.

resultsSeveral perfusion techniques have been developed in recent years with the potential for liver reconditioning. Preclinical and first emerging clinical data suggest feasibility, safety, and superiority over the current gold standard of cold storage.

conclusionThis review outlines current advances in the field of liver preservation with an emphasis on liver reconditioning methods.
