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

BACKGROUND Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) can provide access to evaluate and resuscitate high-risk donor livers before transplantation. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of NMP in preservation and assessment of extended-criteria donor (ECD) livers in China. CASE REPORT From September 2018 to March 2019, 4 liver grafts from 3 transplant center defined as ECD were subjected to NMP, and then were transplanted successfully. During perfusion, perfusion parameters such as vascular flow, glucose level, lactate clearance, and bile production/composition were recorded to assess graft viability. All recipients were followed up 6 months after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS NMP provides a potential tool for preservation and assessment of ECD livers in China.
