The feasibility of a national matching service for perfusion education program applicants.
Article in The journal of extra-corporeal technology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The perfusion profession is experiencing rapid advancement, creating an array of new opportunities for professional growth and educational expansion. However, this increase in demand is juxtaposed with a concerning limitation in the availability of positions for prospective students and may leave many qualified applicants without admission. This letter explores how implementing a national matching service alongside a centralized application service could streamline the application process for perfusion education programs in the United States. Over the last two decades, the number of available positions in perfusion education programs has surged significantly. This growth presents new challenges in recruitment due to varying requirements and timelines, often resulting in unstable matches. A national matching service could standardize acceptances, mitigate unfair practices, and enhance applicants' and program decision-making. By ensuring a fair and efficient system, the national matching service could support the growing need for qualified healthcare perfusionists and promote the perfusion profession's advancement.
