Innovations in Liver Preservation Techniques for Transplants from Donors after Circulatory Death: A Special Focus on Transplant Oncology.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Liver transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage liver disease. Emerging evidence suggests a potential role for liver transplantation in treating liver tumors such as colorectal liver metastases and cholangiocarcinoma. However, due to a limited donor pool, the use of marginal grafts from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors is increasing to meet demand. Machine perfusion is crucial in this context for improving graft acceptance rates and reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury. Few studies have evaluated the role of machine perfusion in the context of transplant oncology. Perfusion machines can be utilized in situ (normothermic regional perfusion-NRP) or ex situ (hypothermic and normothermic machine perfusion), either in combination or as a complement to conventional in situ cold flush and static cold storage. The objective of this analysis is to provide an up-to-date overview of perfusion machines and their function in donation after circulatory death with particular attention to their current and likely potential effects on transplant oncology. A literature review comparing standard cold storage to machine perfusion methods showed that, so far, there is no evidence that these devices can reduce the tumor recurrence rate. However, some evidence suggests that these innovative perfusion techniques can improve graft function, reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury, and, based on this mechanism, may lead to future improvements in cancer recurrence.
