Living Donor Versus Deceased Donor Pediatric Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Reduced-size deceased donors and living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) can address the organ shortage for pediatric liver transplant candidates, but concerns regarding technical challenges and the risk of complications using these grafts have been raised. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes for pediatric LDLT and deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) via systematic review.
methodsA systematic literature search was performed to identify studies reporting outcomes of pediatric (<18 y) LDLT and DDLT published between 2005 and 2019. A meta-analysis was conducted to examine peri- and postoperative outcomes using fixed- and random-effects models.
resultsOverall, 2518 abstracts were screened, and 10 studies met criteria for inclusion. In total, 1622 LDLT and 6326 DDLT pediatric patients from 4 continents were examined. LDLT resulted in superior patient survival when compared with DDLT at 1, 3, and 5 y post-LT (1-y hazard ratio: 0.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.47-0.73,
conclusionsThis meta-analysis demonstrates that LDLT may offer many advantages when compared with DDLT in children and suggests that LDLT should continue to be expanded to optimize outcomes for pediatric LT candidates.
