Virtual crossmatch-prodigal saviour of cardiac transplants in India.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Positive anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies are considered a contraindication for cardiac transplantation in India, due to its negative impact on cardiac allograft survival and increased chances of rejection post-transplant. Single antigen bead (SAB) assay helps to further characterize these antibodies. Our case portrays India's first reported successful cardiac transplant utilizing a virtual crossmatch (VXM)-based approach in a patient with positive anti-HLA antibody screen and SAB assay. We propose that adopting such an approach, in select cases, in India is certainly feasible. This approach would lead to increasing the potential donor pool and mitigate the chances of post-transplant rejection. With increased demands, the SAB assay cost would reduce, further improving its cost-effectiveness.
