Lifesaving re-transplantation with liver paired exchange donor.
Article in Hepatology forum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Liver re-transplantations (re-LTx) have been documented as high-risk operations considering technical and immunological challenges. However, improvements over the last two decades have increased success rates, bringing them closer to those of primary liver transplantations (LTx). At present, deceased organ shortage is a critical issue, and even potential live donors may not be suitable regarding vascular and biliary challenges, volume discrepancies, and ABO incompatibility for both primary and re-LTx. The hospital records of a patient who underwent two liver transplantations in our institution were evaluated retrospectively. A twelve-year-old girl with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis Type 3 underwent live-donor LTx with a graft from her mother. The patient required emergency re-LTx due to primary non-function of the graft, and there were no suitable deceased or live donors during that critical period. The patient was introduced to the liver paired exchange system and underwent a lifesaving re-LTx from an altruistic paired exchange donor. As a developing strategy, liver paired exchange transplantation is a reasonable solution to achieve the most suitable liver graft when it is most needed, especially in populations with very low deceased organ donation rates. There is a need for large studies to analyze the role and success of liver paired exchange transplantation in pediatric patients in urgent and elective situations.
