Lung transplantation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: past, present, and future directions.
Review in Current opinion in pulmonary medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 reviewLung transplantation offers an effective treatment modality for patients with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The exact determination of when to refer, list, and offer transplant as well as the preferred transplant procedure type remains unclear. Additionally, there are special considerations specific to patients with COPD being considered for lung transplantation, including the implications of single lung transplantation on lung cancer risk, native lung hyperinflation, and overall survival. RECENT
findingsThe International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation's most recent recommendations rely on an assessment of COPD severity based on BODE index. Despite the lack of evidence supporting a mortality benefit of bilateral over single lung transplantation for COPD patients, the majority of transplants performed in this population remain bilateral. Some of the concerns specific to single lung transplantation remain the possibility of de novo native lung cancer and the hemodynamic and physiologic implications of acute native lung hyperinflation. SUMMARY: COPD remains the most common worldwide indication for lung transplantation. Ongoing study is still required to assess the overall survival benefit of lung transplantation and assess the overall quality of life impact on the COPD patient population.
