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

In the last decade, heart transplants using allografts from adult donors after circulatory death, in a controlled setting, controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) have been rapidly adopted and widely performed. The selection of retrieval methods has largely been determined by state or institutional guidelines concerning permissible postmortem procedures. A significant majority of cDCD heart recoveries have employed direct procurement and perfusion (DPP) followed by normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for graft preservation. Another established method involves the thoracoabdominal normothermic regional perfusion (taNRP), which is then followed by either NMP or static cold storage. Processing, management and surgical techniques of heart allograft procurement after cDCD are herein described and discussed.
