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

To date, uterus transplantation is the only option for women with absolute uterine infertility, such as those with Rokitansky syndrome, to experience pregnancy and give birth. Despite the growing interest in uterus transplantation in recent years, several issues still require further research, including ischemia-reperfusion injury and its impact on graft quality and rejection. Recent literature has highlighted a thrombotic complication rate of up to 20% following uterus transplantation. This type of complication may result from hypoxia-induced endothelial cell damage, often leading to uterine graft rejection. Hypoxia is induced during static cold storage, which remains the gold standard for graft preservation in solid organ transplantation. Recently, dynamic preservation using machine perfusion has been shown to improve the long-term storage of conventional and marginal organs by reducing ischemic and hypoxic injury. In this protocol, we aim to describe every surgical step involved in porcine uterus procurement and dynamic preservation, based on both uterine pedicles, to enable the connection and initiation of the machine perfusion protocol.
