Lessons From the Portuguese Solid Organ Donation and Transplantation System: Achieving Success Despite Challenging Conditions.
Review in Transplant international : official journal of the European Society for Organ Transplantation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Over the past two decades, Portugal has become one of the world leaders in organ donation and transplantation despite significant financial constraints. This study highlights how Portugal achieved success in organ donation and transplantation and discusses how this information might be used by other countries that are seeking to reform their national programs. To accomplish this goal, we performed a narrative review of relevant academic and grey literature and revised our results after consultation with two national experts. Our findings were then synthesized according to a conceptual framework for organ donation and transplantation programs. Our results revealed several key strategies used by the Portuguese organ donation and transplantation program, including collaboration with Spain and other European nations, a focus on tertiary prevention, and sustained financial commitment. This report also explores how cooperative efforts were facilitated by geographical, governmental, and cultural proximity to Spain, a world leader in organ donation and transplantation. In conclusion, our review of the Portuguese experience provides insight into the development of organ donation and transplantation systems. However, other countries seeking to reform their national transplant systems will need to adapt these policies and practices to align with their unique cultures and contexts.
