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
As part of the ESOT International Consensus on Controlled Donation After Circulatory Determination of Death (cDCDD) Project, a dedicated working group addressed considerations relating to the determination of death in the context of cDCDD. Delphi methodology was used to explore international perspectives on the definition of death, and clinical and ethical standards for the determination of death in the setting of cDCDD. The results indicated consensus that establishing a "single unified definition of death worldwide" and specifically the "unifying brain-based concept of death" would be beneficial. There was consensus on the proposed definition of this concept and several principles relating to the determination of death in the context of cDCDD, such as the "dead donor rule." However, limited agreement was reached on the more practical aspects of death determination. The results nevertheless provide a foundation for current policy and practice and should guide further efforts to establish minimum clinical standards for the determination of death in the context of cDCDD.
