The evolution of lung transplantation in India and the current scenario.
Review in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Lung transplantation has come of age in India. This article aims to trace the evolution of lung transplantation in India from its humble beginnings in 1999 to the current scenario spanning a period of 22 years. Right from the passing of the Act legalising deceased organ transplantation, its amendments and rules-to the development of transplant regulatory bodies-both at national and state levels, the journey thus far has been chronicled. Description of the initial cases at sporadic centres which has now proliferated to many centres now across many states has been elaborated on. The impacts on evolution of lung transplantation by the governmental transplant organisations, non-governmental organisations, and the medical professional societies are described. Publications related to lung transplantation from India are mentioned. Situations specific to India, current scenario of lung transplantation, and future directions are discussed. A brief mention of our experience with lung transplantation has also been made.
