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

introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate ex vivo perfusion (EVP) for vascularized composite tissue preservation. We hypothesized that EVP could maintain allografts in near-physiologic conditions for ≥ 24 h.

methodsTwenty superior epigastric artery perforator-based abdominal flaps were procured from 10 Yorkshire pigs. Flaps were preserved for 12 h (n = 5) or 24 h (n = 5) using EVP with an oxygenated colloid solution containing HBOC-201 oxygen carrier (HbO

resultsIschemia time was 16 ± 6 min. There were no significant differences between the 12 h EVP and 24 h EVP groups at perfusion end for the following parameters: MAP (p = 0.63), pH (p = 0.77), pO2 (p = 0.20), venous pCO

conclusionEVP preserved flaps for 24 h within physiologic parameters and without development of edema. EVP may extend preservation time for VCAs.
