Normothermic Machine Perfusion Is Associated With Improvement in Mortality and Graft Failure in Donation After Cardiac Death Liver Transplant Recipients in the United States.

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: Use of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) may help to expand the liver transplantation (LT) donor pool by potentially increasing the utilization of donation after circulatory death (DCD) organs. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of NMP on LT from DCD organs. Methods: Data among DCD adult LT recipients in the United Network for Organ Sharing between January 2016 and December 2022 were analyzed. Outcomes were compared between 2 groups: NMP versus non-MP using propensity score matching. Results: During the study period, 4217 DCD LT recipients (NMP: 257 and non-MP: 3960) were identified. compared with non-MP, DCD LT recipients in NMP group were older (median recipient age: 61 versus 59 y, Conclusions: Use of NMP for LT from DCD donors was associated with improved posttransplant patient and graft survival.
