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

Since the advent of University of Wisconsin preservation solution in the 1980s, clinicians have learned to work within its confines. While affording improved outcomes, considerable limitations still exist and contribute to the large number of livers that go unused each year, often for fear they may never work. The last 10 years have seen the widespread availability of new perfusion modalities which provide an opportunity for assessing organ viability and prolonged organ storage. This review will discuss the role of
