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

backgroundLung transplantation is the established treatment of benign end-stage pulmonary diseases after failure of alternative surgical and medical treatment options. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of current developments in selected fields of lung transplantation.

methodsA selective literature search was conducted.

resultsLung transplantation in Germany is currently limited by a donor organ shortage. Measures to increase organ donation rates and to optimize the use of available donor organs are required. Ex-vivo lung perfusion, currently mainly used to re-evaluate marginal donor organs, has the potential to increase the available donor pool and to serve as a platform for additional therapies.

conclusionsRefinements in organ allocation, perioperative management, immunosuppression, and in the understanding of acute cellular and humoral rejection as well as chronic lung allograft dysfunction contributed to improvements in long-term outcome after lung transplantation.
