Changes in the Deceased-Donor Trend in Korea: Establishment of Regional Trauma Centers and KODA.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. 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
South Korea utilizes living-donor liver transplantation to overcome a shortage of deceased donors. After the Korea Organ Donation Agency (KODA) was established, many hospitals were selected to be donor-managing hospital. A nationwide regional trauma center project was carried out separately in 2015. This study aims to analyze how the trend of deceased-donor recruitment and donation has changed based on policy factors such as independent organ-procurement organization (IOPO) activities and establishing regional trauma centers. KONOS data from 2010-2019 were used to analyze the impacts of these policy changes. The results showed that 62 centers had 4395 deceased donors, and 3863 recipients underwent deceased-donor liver transplantation. The two most common causes of donor death are cerebrovascular events and head trauma. When the rate of deceased donors was analyzed by the early period (2010-2014) and the late period (2015-2019), 53 non-trauma centers went from an average of 29.3 cases to 31.0 cases (6.2% increase) annually. Nine regional trauma centers showed a statistically significant increase from an average of 39.8 cases to 70.3 cases (75.9% increase) annually. Based on these policies, he locations where deceased donors are identified are changing. It is necessary to communicate with regional trauma center staff to recruit more deceased donors.
