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
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) has become the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD). The organ shortage forced clinicians to use livers from donors with certain risk factors, so-called extended-criteria donor (ECD) organs. Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) is an alternative to conventional static cold storage and reduces early allograft injury in ECD organs. In this article we present the case of a 45-year-old man with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent successful liver transplantation supported by pretransplant hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) from a 34-year-old extended-criteria donor (ECD) with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. CASE REPORT Liver transplantation was scheduled for a 45-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) due to hepatitis B virus-induced liver cirrhosis. The organ donor was a 34-year-old woman who had developed intracerebral hemorrhage and brain death due to HELLP syndrome after delivery. Compared to the day of admission to the intensive care unit, a decrease in the donor's transaminases was observed prior to organ procurement. Before transplantation, HOPE was conducted after regular back-table preparation of the graft. LT was performed according to the standard surgical techniques and a standardized immunosuppressive regimen was conducted. In the post-transplant period, transaminases peaked directly after the operation and normalized after 1 week. No major surgical complications occurred. The patient was discharged after a 24-day hospital stay with normal liver function. CONCLUSIONS This case report supports the benefits of using HOPE in ECD organs and it should be considered in livers of donors with HELLP syndrome to improve post-transplant outcome.
