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

Machine perfusion will become established as the standard of care for solid organ transplantation in the near future. Ongoing studies are investigating the appropriate perfusion algorithms for each specific organ. Although it is neither proven which perfusion principle nor type of device is superior, it has already been sufficiently shown that the increasing number of marginal organs that are currently transplanted in Germany would benefit from machine perfusion for conditioning before transplantation. The addition of hypothermic and normothermic perfusion sequences opens up the possibility of conditioning of previously damaged organs as well as viability testing. Overall, machine perfusion increases the safety for the recipient and can counteract the increasingly more difficult scenario of working hour restrictions because solid organ transplantations in the future will be plannable and carried out during the day.
