Utilization and Outcomes of Septuagenarian Donation After Circulatory Death Donors.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The ongoing organ shortage and aging global population necessitate the utilization of older donors. However, the transplantability of donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts from septuagenarian donors remains uncertain. Methods: Adult DCD donors in the United Network for Organ Sharing database between 2020 and 2024 were stratified on the basis of age 70 y or older (septuagenarian donors) and younger than 70 y. The utilization and posttransplant outcomes were analyzed. Results: There were 24 258 DCD donors, of whom 195 (0.8%) were septuagenarians. Among 364 recovered kidneys, 58 livers, and 8 lungs from septuagenarian donors, 61 (16.7%) kidneys, 50 (86.2%) livers, and 6 (75%) lungs were transplanted. There was no significant difference in 1-y graft survival for either kidney (92.9 versus 91.6%, Conclusions: Septuagenarian DCD grafts achieved favorable graft survival after kidney or liver transplantation. Although significant variation exists across organ procurement organizations and transplant centers, aggressive exploration of septuagenarian DCD donors is warranted to resolve the organ shortage.
