Impact of machine perfusion of the liver on post-transplant biliary complications: A systematic review.
Article in World journal of transplantation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimTo review the clinical impact of machine perfusion (MP) of the liver on biliary complications post-transplantation, particularly ischaemic-type biliary lesions (ITBL).
methodsThis systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocol. The following databases were searched: PubMed, MEDLINE and Scopus. The keyword "liver transplantation" was used in combination with the free term "machine perfusion". Clinical studies reporting results of transplantation of donor human livers following
resultsFifteen articles were considered to fit the criteria for this review.
conclusionMP of the liver has the potential to have a positive impact on post-transplant biliary complications, specifically ITBL, and expand extended criteria donor livers utilisation.
