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

India is the country with the third largest transplantation activity in the world but has one of the lowest deceased donation rates. The Transplantation of Human Organs Act was first enacted as law 29 years ago, its implementation has been non-uniform and growth in deceased donation has been slow and heterogenous. This review discusses the concept of brain death, ethics of deceased donation and organ allocation, Indian legislation in this area and the regulatory structure of the National Organ transplantation program. We also discuss current status of deceased donation and deceased donor liver transplantation in the country, identify variation in liver allocation policies across Indian states and identify areas of need and potential solutions.
