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

There has been a worldwide reduction in pancreas transplant volume over the last decade. Understanding factors, such as procurement extraction time (ET), that play a key role in organ recovery can increase confidence in organ acceptance and improve organ utilization. All patients who underwent deceased donor pancreas transplantation at a single US center between January 2019 and August 2024 were stratified by ET and retrospectively reviewed. A total of 137 transplants were included in the analysis with 72 patients in the ET ≤ 40 min group and 65 patients in the ET > 40 min group. We found no significant difference in all-cause pancreas graft loss between the ET ≤ 40 min and ET > 40 min group (6.9% vs 12%; p = 0.482), but there was a higher readmission rate at 90 days in the ET ≤ 40 min group (60% vs 39%; p = 0.015) regardless of adjustments in multivariate analysis. We demonstrate for the first time at a US center that while ET is not associated with all-cause graft loss, it may impact postoperative outcomes such as readmission rates and could have important implications for the future of pancreas utilization.
