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

objectivesThe goal of this research was to develop a mouse orthotopic liver transplantation (LTx) model from donor-after-cardiac-death (DCD) grafts. MATERIALS AND

methodsMice were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the sham group. The mice in the experimental group were divided into three groups according to the warm ischemia time (WIT) of liver graft: normal LTx, WIT 30 minute (min) +LTx and WIT 45 min +LTx. The descending aorta was clamped using a miniature aortic clamp to simulate cardiac arrest in the DCD grafts. Subsequently, the grafts were orthotopically transplanted into C57BL/6 mice. The 7-day survival rate, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA level, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA level, as well as hepatic pathologic alterations were observed.

resultsThe 7-day survival rate was markedly lower in the WIT 45 min+LTx group than that in the normal LTx group (25% versus 100%,

conclusionThe DCD LTx model is feasible in the mouse and would provide many advantages for biomedical research on LTx from DCD grafts.
