Many Moving Parts: New Transplant Allocation Models Are Associated With Increased Organ Travel and Potential Climate Implications.
Article in Clinical 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
backgroundOrgan allocation has recently changed to acuity circle (AC)-based policies. This study aimed to quantify changes in travel distance and potential environmental impacts of AC policies.
methodsData were obtained from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients for each solid organ for an equidistant window before and after AC implementation. We calculated the distance between the donor and recipient hospital for each organ. We used an interrupted time series model to calculate excess travel distance after AC along with associated carbon emissions.
resultsWe analyzed travel distance for 226 731 deceased donor organs. There was a significant increase in total excess distance traveled: 1.5 × 10
conclusionsOur findings quantify an increase in total distance traveled and potential carbon emissions after AC implementation. Environmental impacts of allocation policies should be considered, especially with upcoming continuous distribution.
