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 a significant increase in utilization over the past decade, the number of donation after circulatory death (DCD) organs that are procured and transplanted in the United States (US) remains well below its potential. There is still room for expansion, as utilizing DCD organs to the fullest extent is currently the most viable solution to the persistent mismatch between supply and demand in transplantation. We convened a multidisciplinary transplantation summit to examine various aspects of DCD, with faculty members from around the world with clinical and academic interest in DCD donation and transplantation, including abdominal and cardiothoracic surgeons, organ procurement organization directors, hepatologists, and gastroenterologists. The conference focused on identifying barriers to DCD organ utilization and strategies to overcome these barriers. We divide the barriers to DCD utilization into three mains categories: (I) policy and process variation; (II) logistical and transportation challenges; and (III) higher risk perceptions related to DCD outcomes. For each barrier, we proposed a variety of solutions, providing an overview of the status of DCD donation in the US and suggestions on how to increase the use of DCD. There is a specific focus on ex situ machine perfusion, normothermic regional perfusion, and other opportunities to expand DCD utilization without negatively impacting recipient outcomes.
