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

Our aging population is reshaping transplantation medicine. As demand for liver transplantation continues to rise, an aging donor pool presents unique challenges, with marginal organs becoming increasingly prevalent and representing a critical yet underexploited opportunity. Current selection criteria, such as chronological age, may not fully capture organ quality. A multidimensional approach that better reflects true biological aging is now more crucial than ever. Increasing evidence indicates that senescence, a hallmark of aging, influences multiple stages of transplantation, including organ procurement and preservation. Assessing senescence could provide an objective metric for evaluating organ quality. Importantly, senescence quantification could both define organ quality and guide interventions aimed at mitigating this phenomenon. This review explores the contribution of senescence to the transplant process and evaluates emerging opportunities for senescence-based assessment and therapeutic intervention. We also highlight the potential to integrate these strategies with
