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

In this case report, we preserved human livers for up to 13 days under normothermic conditions using a modified commercial perfusion system. Two whole livers were split into two left lateral segment grafts and two extended right grafts without interruption to blood flow and then perfused on separate machines. Not only does this provide the basis for a meaningful study of liver function in the long term, but this could also facilitate the development of a model of ex situ liver regeneration.
