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

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) after static cold storage is increasingly used for preservation and assessment of human donor livers prior to transplantation. Biliary viability assessment during NMP reduces the risk of post-transplant biliary complications. However, understanding of molecular changes in the biliary system during NMP remains incomplete. We performed an in-depth, unbiased proteomics analysis of bile collected during sequential hypothermic machine perfusion, rewarming and NMP of 55 human donor livers. Longitudinal analysis during NMP reveals proteins reflective of cellular damage at early stages, followed by upregulation of secretory and immune response processes. Livers with bile chemistry acceptable for transplantation reveal protein patterns implicated in regenerative processes, including cellular proliferation, compared to livers with inadequate bile chemistry. These findings are reinforced by detection of regenerative gene transcripts in liver tissue before machine perfusion. Our comprehensive bile proteomics and liver transcriptomics data sets provide the potential to further evaluate molecular mechanisms during NMP and refine viability assessment criteria.
