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

purposeCalcineurin inhibitor (CNI) use has improved lung transplantation outcomes. However, significant perioperative complications in patients receiving CNI can deteriorate the early course of lung transplantation. To date, there is no consensus regarding the optimal agent for the induction regimen after lung transplantation. We aimed to determine the efficacy of basiliximab induction with delayed CNI initiation in the prevention of acute complications without compromising immunosuppression in high-risk patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween January 2013 and December 2019, 236 patients at a single lung transplant center were retrospectively reviewed. Forty-one patients (17.4%) received basiliximab induction, and 195 patients (82.6%) received a routine triple-drug regimen without induction. The primary endpoint was postoperative acute kidney injury with several other postoperative outcomes as secondary end-points.

resultsPreoperatively, the induction group had a higher proportion of patients who were admitted before transplantation (95.1% vs. 47.7%,

conclusionBasiliximab induction with delayed CNI initiation for high-risk patients might decrease the incidence of perioperative complications, including acute renal failure, without increasing the risk of acute rejection.
