Impact of a high emergency lung transplantation programme for cystic fibrosis in France: insight from a comparison with Canada.
Article in The European respiratory journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundFrance implemented a high emergency lung transplantation (HELT) programme nationally in 2007. A similar programme does not exist in Canada. The objectives of our study were to compare health outcomes within France as well as between Canada and France before and after the HELT programme in a population with cystic fibrosis (CF).
methodsThis population-based cohort study utilised data from the French and Canadian CF registries. A cumulative incidence curve assessed time to transplant with death without transplant as competing risks. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate post-transplant survival.
resultsBetween 2002 and 2016, there were 1075 (13.0%) people with CF in France and 555 (10.2%) people with CF in Canada who underwent lung transplantation. The proportion of lung transplants increased in France after the HELT programme was initiated (4.5%
conclusionsFollowing the implementation of the HELT programme, people living with CF in France were more likely to receive a transplant than die. Post-transplant survival in the post-HELT period in France did not change compared with the pre-HELT period, despite potentially sicker patients being transplanted, and was comparable to Canada.
