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

Heart transplantation improves quality of life and survival in patients with advanced heart failure. However, the shortage of available heart donors and technological advances for left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have led to longer waiting times for transplantation, and long-term use of LVAD may increase the medical complexity of subsequent transplantation. We present the case of a 35-year-old man who underwent heart transplantation after being supported by an LVAD for 1490 days (∼4 years). He was sensitized with kidney dysfunction and recurrent infections, including candidemia, at the time of transplantation. He underwent a successful heart transplantation with pretransplant plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin administration, early initiation of everolimus, and prompt management of infections. <
