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

Background: The use of livers from donors with expanded criteria, where monitoring the degree of hepatic steatosis (HS) is crucial, has increased in recent years to address the shortage of available grafts. The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of monitoring regional hepatic oxygen saturation (rSO2) using the INVOS somatic oximeter in the assessment of liver donors. Methods: An observational, longitudinal, and prospective study was conducted of adult patients undergoing liver transplantation at our center between 08/01/2020 and 06/01/2022. We measured rSO2 by placing the sensor on the donor skin and on the liver surface. Results: The rSO2 measurements on the donor skin were obtained in 27 patients (93.1%), while the measurements on the donor liver were taken in 18 patients (62.1%). We found a statistically significant relationship between the rSO2 values measured on the donor liver and the degree of steatosis ( Conclusions: Hepatic rSO2 measurements obtained with the NIRS device in liver donors were associated with relevant donor graft characteristics, particularly the degree of HS.
