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

Pediatric patients constitute an important group within the general transplant population, given the opportunity to significantly extend their lives with successful transplantation. Children have historically received special consideration under the various abdominal solid organ allocation algorithms, but matching patients with size and weight restrictions with appropriate donors remains an ongoing issue. Here, we describe the historical trends in pediatric organ allocation policies for liver, kidney, intestine, and pancreas transplantation. We also review recent changes to these allocation policies, with particular attention to recent amendments to geographical prioritization, with the dissolution of donor service areas and United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) regions and the subsequent creation of acuity circles.
