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

backgroundNormothermic liver machine perfusion (NMP) is a novel technology used to preserve and evaluate the function of liver allografts.

aimTo assess NMP utilization in liver transplant (LT) practices.

methodsAll adult deceased-donor LT recipients between January 2021 and September 2023 in the United States were analyzed. Outcomes including discard rates, survival, preservation time and timing of surgery were compared between two groups: NMP

resultsBetween 2021 and 2023, NMP was utilized in 1493 (6.3%) of all LTs in the United States. Compared to non-NMP group, NMP group had lower allograft discard rate (6.5%

conclusionThe utilization of NMP is associated with lower discard rates and increased DCD organs for LT. NMP allows for prolonging the preservation time and increased occurrence of daytime LT, without any impact on the survival outcomes.
