Extended travel for donor organs: Is cold static storage still relevant.
Article in World journal of transplantation, 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
backgroundTraditional limitations of cold static storage (CSS) on ice at 4 °C during lung transplantation have necessitated limiting cold ischemic time (CIT) to 4-6 hours.
aimTo determine the effect of CSS or EVLP on donors with extended travel distance [> 750 nautical miles (NM)] to recipient.
methodsLung transplants, whose donor traveled greater than 750 NM, were identified from the United Network for Organ Sharing Database. Recipients were stratified into either: CSS or EVLP, based on preservation method. Groups were assessed with comparative statistics and survival was assessed by Kaplan-Meier methods. A 3:1 propensity match was then created, and same analysis was repeated.
resultsPrior to matching, those in the EVLP group had significantly increased post-operative morbidity to include dialysis, ventilator use, acute rejection, and treated rejection in the first year (
conclusionWhile there was no significant difference in survival, EVLP patients had increased peri-operative morbidity. With the advent of changes in CSS with 10 °C storage further analysis is necessary to evaluate the best methods for utilizing organs from increased distances.
