Porcine slaughterhouse lungs for ex vivo lung perfusion - a pilot project.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is an emerging technique for evaluation and eventual reconditioning of donor lungs. Before clinical use experiments with laboratory animals are standard. It was the aim of this study to compare lungs evaluated with EVLP from laboratory animals with slaughterhouse lungs and to investigate the potential use of a slaughterhouse lung model for ex vivo lung perfusion as an alternative for the use of laboratory animals. In a porcine model of Donation after Circulatory Determination of Death (DCDD) 16 lungs were obtained either from regular slaughterhouse animals (SL n = 8) or from laboratory animals in organ procurements (SS n = 8). Lungs were flushed and stored cold for four hours in Perfadex Plus™ and subsequently perfused ex vivo with Steen Solution™ for up to four hours. During 4 hours of EVLP lung functional parameters and activities of lactate, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) in the perfusate were recorded hourly. Histological samples were taken and evaluated fur Lung Injury. Lungs showed no significant difference in oxygen capacity in between groups (∆ PO
