Availability of deceased uterus donor: Is it a real case scenario in Spain?
Article in Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 2025. 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
introductionAbsolute uterine factor infertility, historically considered untreatable, remained without proven effective treatment until 2014, when the first birth following uterus transplantation from a living donor occurred in Sweden. Since then, the procedure has been performed by other groups using living and deceased donors. Interest in deceased donors is increasing; however, global experience remains limited. The availability of potential deceased donors is unknown in many regions, and there is no clear consensus on inclusion criteria. Hence, the aim of this study is to determine the availability of potential deceased donors in our region and critically analyze actual inclusion criteria. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective review of our organ procurement organization's database was conducted between January 1st 2015, and December 31st 2019, to identify potential deceased uterine donors. During this period, 201 women aged 18-50 were included in a multi-organ donation program after circulatory and brain death. Only brain death donors were considered, as described in the literature.
resultsAfter applying exclusion criteria, 14 and 48 potential deceased uterine donors were identified using standard and extended donor criteria. This corresponds to 1.8 and 6.3 deceased donors per million people throughout the entire period.
conclusionsWe believe the number of potential candidates remains low, and expanding inclusion criteria could increase organ availability, especially in those regions with emerging transplantation programs to establish cadaveric donor-based solutions.
