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

The machine perfusion (MP) of transplantable grafts has emerged as an upcoming field in Cardiothoracic (CT) transplantation during the last decade. This technology carries the potential to assess, preserve, and even recondition thoracic grafts before transplantation, so it is a possible game-changer in the field. This technology field has reached a critical turning point, with a growing number of publications coming predominantly from a few leading institutions, but still need solid scientific evidence. Due to the increasing need to expand the donor pool, especially in Europe, where the donor age is steeply increased, a consensus has been established to address the growing need and knowledge of machine perfusion in cardiothoracic transplantation, targeting the unmet scientific need in this growing field but also, priorities for development, and regional differences in utilization rates and organizational issues. To address MP in CT, the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) convened a dedicated Working group comprised of experts in CT to review literature about MP to develop guidelines that were subsequently discussed and voted on during the Consensus Conference that took place in person in Prague during the TLJ 3.0 in November 2022. The findings and recommendations of the Cardiothoracic Working Group on MP are presented in this article.
