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

Despite being eligible, only 26 patients with primary brain cancer became organ donors from 2009 to 2018 in Australia. We describe two patients with high grade gliomas who successfully donated their organs after obtaining first-person consent in the outpatient setting by careful multidisciplinary planning and an elective intensive care unit admission for organ donation. Barriers and facilitators were examined based on these experiences and suggestions for future practices are explored. The recommended practices include: 1. Systematic incorporation of organ donation into advance care planning. 2. Integrating organ donation organisation coordinators into advance care planning. 3. Standardization of donor care and clear communication and collaboration between treatment teams. 4. Support and involvement of the medical treatment decision maker. 5. Identification of clinical triggers for admission to hospital and intensive care unit. These two cases illustrate that with careful coordination and involvement from a multidisciplinary team, successful organ transplantation outcomes are possible.
