Retrospective cohort study of patients qualified for lung transplantation due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - single-centre experience.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 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
introductionIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive disease. Pharmacological treatment can only slow its progression. However, lung transplantation (LTx) is the only treatment for patients with its end-stage form. This study analysed the long-term results of the qualification process of patients with IPF recruited for LTx in a single centre. MATERIAL AND
methodsRetrospective analysis of 84 patients (56 patients who died while on the waiting list and 28 patients who underwent LTx) with end-stage IPF who were qualified for LTx between 2006 and 2017 at the Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases (Zabrze, Poland).
resultsCox proportional hazard analysis showed that the only parameter was 6-minute walk test (6MWT) distance, which statistically significantly impacted the probability of receiving a graft (parameter assessment, 0.00523;
conclusionsThe 6-minute walk test distance is an independent predictor of mortality on the lung transplant waiting list. Blood type and height also play a significant role in becoming a lung recipient.
