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 reviewThe purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive update on recent advances in heart transplantation. RECENT

findingsHeart transplantation is now an established therapy for end-stage heart failure, though challenges still exist. However, multiple advances over the past few years will improve the survival and quality of life of heart transplant recipients. These advances include acceptance of previously considered marginal donor hearts, revisions to the donor heart allocation policy, advances in desensitization regimens, tailoring of immunosuppression regimens, and improvement in the diagnosis of rejection and allograft vasculopathy. Heart transplantation is evolving to provide better quality of life and survival to higher risk recipients with methods to broaden the donor pool, make the best use of existing organs, and refine the management of sensitization and diagnosis of rejection and allograft vasculopathy.
