The Anticipated Organ Donation Approach Increases the Number of Organ Donors.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Deficiency of organs for transplantation is a significant public health issue. French learned societies accept intensive care unit admission for patients with catastrophic neurological prognosis to optimize organs prior to probable brain death. We evaluated the implementation of a specific ethical care procedure for these patients. Methods: A descriptive before-after study was conducted, comparing the 2009-2012 period to the 2013-2016 period, during which this procedure was applied. Results: The number of patients increased from 145 to 186 (+28.3%) and the number of harvested organs increased from 323 to 485 (+50.1%). The anticipated organ donation approach was initiated 135 times. Of the 117 meetings with families, 83 (71%) consented to organ donation. Fifty-three (64%) patients were brain dead, and 49 (92%) of these patients had 194 organs harvested. Conclusion: The anticipated approach increased the number of donors and organs suitable for grafts. The application of a specific protocol for managing untreatable catastrophic neurological patients improved communication between hospital staff and families and respected patient autonomy by offering options for either organ donation or palliative care.
