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

The absence of ethical guidance for research that involves actual and prospective deceased donors of organs, cells or tissues for transplantation presents challenges for researchers, donation agencies, and participants in such research. To address this, the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), together with the International Society for Organ Donation Professionals (ISODP) and The Transplantation Society (TTS), convened an interdisciplinary, multinational team to develop the first international guidelines for ethical practice in research involving deceased donation and transplantation activities (INTEGRITY). The guidelines were developed over twelve months via an international, iterative consultative process. The resultant principles are presented in this article.
