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
The shortage of donor organs remains a significant obstacle to addressing the growing demand for lung transplantation. We have developed a mobile EVLP circuit utilizing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology. The goals of our study was to evaluate the safety of a cellular-based EVLP system and to assess the efficacy of continuous cytokine removal and the application of bronchodilators during prolonged EVLP. A total of 29 pigs, aged 6-18 months and weighing 93 ± 13.1 kg (mean ± SD), were used in the study. The lungs were randomly allocated into the following groups: Cytosorb group (n = 12), were perfused with an EVLP circuit containing a Cytosorb cartridge, and Control group (n = 12), where lungs were perfused with an EVLP circuit without a Cytosorb cartridge, Bronchodilator group (n = 5) consisted of lungs that were nebulized with a combined bronchodilator every 4 h after the initiation of ventilation and Control group (n = 5) inhaled the control solvent under the same settings. Our study demonstrates that whole blood based perfusate with continuous ultrafiltration for functioning lung in machine perfusion can be straightforward and efficient for at least 24 h. Additional cytokine removal had led to significant improvement of organ quality over 24 h of EVLP.
