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

purpose of reviewThis article reviews recent progress in the field of lung xenotransplantation, including mechanisms of xenograft injury, and the influence of mechanism-directed genetic modifications and other interventions that may soon enable therapeutic use of pig lungs in humans. RECENT

findingsAn extensive series of lung xenotransplantation experiments demonstrates that multiple genetic modifications targeting known xenogeneic lung injury mechanisms are associated with incremental improvements in lung survival or function. Addition of human complement (hCD46, hCD55), coagulation (hEPCR, hTBM, hTFPI, hCD39), or anti-inflammatory pathway regulatory genes (HO-1, HLA-E), and GalT and Neu5Gc gene knockout has each demonstrated protective effects on lung survival or function. In addition, drug treatments targeting key inflammatory and clotting pathways have been shown to attenuate residual mechanisms of lung injury. Work with other pig organs in primate models show that regimens based on costimulatory pathway blocking antibodies prolong xenograft function for months to years, suggesting that once initial lung inflammation mechanisms are fully controlled, clinically useful application of pig lung xenografts may soon be feasible. SUMMARY: Genetic modification of pigs coupled with drugs targeting complement activation, coagulation, and inflammation have significantly increased duration of pig lung function in ex-vivo human blood perfusion models, and life-supporting lung xenograft survival in vivo.
