Elevated pre-transplant pulmonary vascular resistance is associated with early post-transplant atrial fibrillation and mortality.
Observational study in ESC heart failure, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
aimsSeverely elevated pre-transplant pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) has been linked to adverse effects after heart transplantation (HTX). The impact of a moderately increased PVR before HTX on post-transplant outcomes remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an elevated pre-transplant PVR ≥ 300 dyn·s·cm METHODS AND
resultsThis observational retrospective single-centre study included 561 patients receiving HTX at Heidelberg Heart Center between 1989 and 2015. Patients were stratified by degree of pre-transplant PVR. Analyses covered demographics, post-transplant medication, mortality and causes of death after HTX, early post-transplant atrial fibrillation (AF), and length of the initial hospital stay after HTX. Ninety-four patients (16.8%) had a PVR ≥ 300 dyn·s·cm
conclusionsElevated pre-transplant PVR ≥ 300 dyn·s·cm
