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

Recent advances in machine perfusion have revolutionised the field of transplantation by prolonging preservation, permitting evaluation of viability prior to implant and rescue of discarded organs. Long-term perfusion for days-to-weeks provides time to modify these organs prior to transplantation. By using long-term normothermic machine perfusion to facilitate liver splitting and subsequent perfusion of both partial organs, possibilities even outside the clinical arena become possible. This model remains in its infancy but in the future, could allow for detailed study of liver injury and regeneration, and ex-situ treatment strategies such as defatting, genetic modulation and stem-cell therapies. Here we provide insight into this new model for research and highlight its great potential and current limitations.
