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

Sequential dual-organ living donation, defined as donation of a kidney and a partial liver graft by the same individual in separate operations, represents a rare extension of living donor transplantation. A donor-focused analysis was performed to characterize the donor population, the operative considerations posed by a second donor operation, and early donor outcomes at a single high-volume center. A retrospective review of all dual-organ living donors at our institute was performed. Twenty-four donors were identified (n = 10 liver-first and n = 14 kidney-first). The median interval between donations was 2 years (IQR 1.1-4.2). Twelve donors donated both organs anonymously, nine donated one organ anonymously and directed the other, and three directed both donations. Anonymous donation is a strong motivator in this unique population. Ten donors (42%) participated in kidney paired donation. Liver donations (left lateral segment (42%), left lobe (25%), and right lobe (33%)) were performed by an open approach. Laparoscopic nephrectomy was performed in all cases except two prior liver donors. Liver-after-kidney donors (n = 14) did not develop renal dysfunction after donation. Prior organ donation does not usually require modification of surgical technique for the second procedure. Dual-organ living donation is rare but can be safely performed independent of sequence.
