Donor Lungs' Procurement Implementation with Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion in a Low-Volume Lung Transplant Center.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
(1) Background: Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion (EVLP) is a technique designed to assess and recondition marginal lungs, potentially expanding the donor pool and improving transplant outcomes (2) Methods: This retrospective study evaluated lung transplantation outcomes after EVLP. Donor lungs were assessed using the Toronto protocol, with data on hemodynamics, gas exchange, and perfusion parameters collected and analyzed. Post-transplant complications and survival rates were also examined. (3) Results: Over five years, 17 EVLP procedures were performed. Despite an improvement in lung function, 47% of donor lungs were rejected after EVLP. EVLP-reconditioned lungs showed comparable survival rates to standard transplants, but complications like sepsis and primary graft dysfunction (PGD) occurred. (4) Conclusions: EVLP shows promise in expanding the donor organ availability and reducing PGD, but nearly half of the lungs assessed were rejected. Further research is necessary to optimize EVLP and address potential complications like lung injury and sepsis.
