Unexpected cardio-circulatory arrest during a brain-dead donor organ retrieval.
Article in Respirology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
According to the Maastricht classification category of donation after circulatory death (DCD), type IV DCD refers to brain-dead donors who are re-categorized after unexpected circulatory arrest before donor organ retrieval. Clinical management is challenging, even in intensive care units, where most of this type of organ donation occurs. We report a case of the first successful lung transplantation (LTx) using type IV DCD organ in Taiwan. The recipient's recovery was satisfactory, without acute or chronic organ dysfunction. When unexpected events made the brain-dead donors suffer from sudden onset of cardiac arrest before or during organ donation surgery, immediately switching the retrieval protocol from donation after brain death (DBD) to DCD could expand the donor pool and increase organ supply. The well-prepared and experienced transplant team and prompt protocol switch made this transplant surgery possible.
