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

The number of patients waiting for a new organ has continuously decreased in recent years. Brain death confirmation plays an important role in the clinical routine concerning a possible organ transplantation. In many countries a strictly defined protocol prescribes the required neurological examination and ancillary test criteria. Therefore, many years of experience and expertise is absolutely necessary for neurologists and neuroradiologists. Pitfalls can sometimes be very challenging for the treating physicians.
