1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Highlights: In this qualitative study with Australian donation specialists, we found that potential deceased donor medical suitability was determined by a complex interplay of clinical practice guidelines, guidance from colleagues, and personal risk propensity, with variability in decision making irrespective of standardized information provision.Decisions to forego a potential donor were often driven by compounding risks and worsened by missing information and incomplete medical histories.Considering both potential donor and recipient profiles in tandem and including the recipient and/or their families in decision making were considered important but challenging under time pressure.
