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

Historically, heart transplantation (HT) has relied on the use of traditional cold storage for donor heart preservation. This organ preservation modality has several limitations, including the risk for ischemic and cold-induced graft injuries that may contribute to primary graft dysfunction and poor post-HT outcomes. In recent years, several novel donor heart preservation modalities have entered clinical practice, including the SherpaPak Cardiac Transport System of controlled hypothermic preservation, and the Transmedics Organ Care System of ex vivo perfusion. Such technologies are altering the landscape of HT by expanding the geographic reach of procurement teams and enabling both donation after cardiac death and the use of expanded criteria donor hearts. This paper will review the emerging evidence on the association of these modalities with improved post-HT outcomes, and will also suggest best practices for selecting between donor heart preservation techniques.
