Review in Current opinion in organ transplantation, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04081012 (N-acetyl Cysteine in Post-reperfusion Pulmonary Injury in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Undergoing Pulmonary Balloon Angioplasty and Pulmonary Endarterectomy.), which is not on this map. Cited by 134 papers.

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.

Abstract

purpose of reviewLungs are extremely susceptible to injury, and despite advances in surgical management and immunosuppression, outcomes for lung transplantation are the worst of any solid organ transplant. The success of lung transplantation is limited by high rates of primary graft dysfunction because of ischemia-reperfusion injury characterized by robust inflammation, alveolar damage, and vascular permeability. This review will summarize major mechanisms of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury with a focus on the most recent findings in this area. RECENT

findingsOver the past 18 months, numerous studies have described strategies to limit lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in experimental settings, which often reveal mechanistic insight. Many of these strategies involved the use of various antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, mesenchymal stem cells, and ventilation with gaseous molecules. Further advancements have been achieved in understanding mechanisms of innate immune cell activation, neutrophil infiltration, endothelial barrier dysfunction, and oxidative stress responses. SUMMARY: Methods for prevention of primary graft dysfunction after lung transplant are urgently needed, and understanding mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury is critical for the development of novel and effective therapeutic approaches. In doing so, both acute and chronic outcomes of lung transplant recipients will be significantly improved.
