Evolving trends in liver transplantation eligibility: A shift toward inclusivity for older adults at a Canadian Transplant Center.
Article in Canadian liver journal, 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
Background: The surge of end-stage liver disease among older individuals challenges traditional age-based criteria for liver transplantation (LT), historically capped at 65 years. Our Canadian center shifted away from using chronologic age as an absolute refusal criterion since 2019, enabling those aged 65 years and older to seek LT. This study aimed to investigate temporal trends in the transplant care cascade for patients aged 65 and older at our center, pre- and post-clinical shift. Methods: A retrospective study in a single Canadian transplant center reviewed LT referrals between 2015 and 2023, analyzing proportions of patients aged 65 and above at each stage. Specific intervals, 2015-2018 and 2019-2023, were defined for pre- and post-comparisons. Results: Among the 1,007 LT referrals, 11% (n = 110) were patients aged ≥65 years, with 74% ( Conclusions: Removing the age cap increased older patient engagement in the LT care cascade. This emphasizes the crucial role of actively promoting awareness of evolving LT eligibility criteria. Concerted efforts should focus on improving transplantation accessibility in older patients, ensuring age alone does not impede the process.
