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

Donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart transplantation is emerging as an alternative pathway to traditional donation after brain death (DBD) to expand the heart donor pool. Greater adoption of DCD heart allografts is hampered by the logistical and ethical constraints to perform invasive antemortem testing, thus limiting the capacity for the standard donor organ quality evaluation. Identification of the absence of coronary artery disease in patients at risk is an essential prerequisite for organ acceptance by an implant institution. This case presents a novel approach to the examination of coronary arteries in a cardiac allograft. We demonstrated that the coronary computed tomographic angiographic imaging of an ex-situ nonbeating cardiac allograft preserved after recovery in SherpaPak Cardiac Transport System is technically feasible. The images are of good quality and allow for three-dimensional reconstruction as well as quantification of coronary lesions.
