Glycocalyx kinetics and injury during liver procurement and transplantation as predictors of early graft dysfunction.

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
Introduction: Ischemia-reperfusion injury causes endothelial damage, partly through degradation of the glycocalyx. This study aimed to evaluate glycocalyx degradation from graft procurement to reperfusion and assess its potential as a biomarker of early graft function (early allograft dysfunction, EAD). Methods: This single-center observational prospective study was conducted at Paul Brousse Hospital from April 2022 to April 2023. All primary liver transplantation (LT) recipients were included. Glycocalyx degradation was assessed at procurement, at the end of cold ischemia, and during LT in liver graft caval effluent and correlated with liver histological injury. The primary endpoint was EAD, defined as a Model for Early Allograft Function score ≥9. We quantified glycocalyx components [Syndecan-1 (Synd-1), heparan sulfate, angiopoietin-1, and angiopoietin-2], inflammation (TNF-alpha), and cell death markers. Results: Thirty-one patients were included; 12 (39%) developed EAD. Synd-1 plasma levels at procurement (donor Synd-1 level = d-Synd-1) were significantly higher in patients with EAD [12,173 pg/mL (10,538-17,570) vs. 6,282 pg/mL (4,604-10,002), Conclusions: d-Synd-1 levels in graft effluent during procurement may serve as a predictor of early allograft dysfunction. Strategies aimed at protecting the endothelial during procurement could improve graft outcomes.
