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

This paradox emphasizes the urgent need to re-engineer transplant systems around pediatric-adult split liver transplantation (SLT). Despite being as effective as whole-liver transplants, SLT remains underutilized due to logistical and policy barriers. We believe that expanding SLT is not only clinically acceptable but a just and effective moral necessity. We propose a five-point action plan, including centralized splitting hubs, NMP-enabled transport, and global pilot programs, to transform SLT from an exception into standard practice.
