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

Donation after circulatory death has emerged worldwide as a safe and effective alternative pathway to increase the donor pool. However, organs undergo a variable period of warm ischemia during the agonal phase and the cardiac arrest before graft procurement, and the heart is particularly vulnerable to injury provoked by warm ischemia and subsequent reperfusion. Several reperfusion strategies are currently available for the recovery and assessment of heart function in these donors, with promising early and long-term results. Nevertheless, each technique implies specific financial, logistical and ethical challenges, translating into a heterogeneous landscape of protocols across European and non-European countries. Additionally, no randomized clinical trials have been published to assess the superiority of one technique over the other, and current clinical evidence is based on retrospective registry data and single-center observational studies.
