Heart transplantation in 47 children: single-center experience from China.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTo perform a retrospective analysis of 47 cases of pediatric heart transplantation in a single Chinese center.
methodsThe study included 47 cases of heart transplantation under 18 years old, completed between Sep 1
resultsThe study included 24 males and 23 females. The average age on transplantation was 10.34±4.80 years (minimum 3 months, median 11.00 years). Preoperative diagnosis included 36 cases of cardiomyopathy, 9 cases of complex congenital heart disease (CHD), and 2 cases of cardiac tumor. Four patients received cardiac surgery before. The donors' average age was 20.89±11.84 years, including 19 donors under 18 years old and 28 donors over 18 years old. The mean donor/recipient body weight ratio was 1.58±0.58. The mean duration of intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was 119.00±53.47 minutes, in which the mean CPB-assist time was 79.71±48.21 minutes. The average duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation was 32.00 (18.50-54.00) hours, and the average intensive care unit (ICU) stay was 7.00 (4.94-11.28) days. Postoperative complications occurred in 20 cases (42.55%). The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rate after operation was 95.74%, 93.01%, and 93.01% respectively.
conclusionsHeart transplantation is an effective means for end-stage heart disease in children. The clinical outcome of pediatric heart transplantation in our center is satisfactory, with low incidence of postoperative complications and high short- and mid-term survival rates.
