ICU and Hospital Outcomes in Patients with Hepatopulmonary Syndrome Undergoing Liver Transplantation.
Article in Lung, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThere are limited data regarding hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes in patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) following liver transplantation (LT).
methodsData were retrospectively collected from consecutive HPS adult patients who underwent LT and were immediately admitted to the ICU at three transplant centers with shared management protocols, from 2002 to 2018. Demographic, clinical, surgical, laboratory, and outcome data were extracted.
resultsWe identified 137 patients (74 male, 54%), with a median age at LT of 58 years (IQR: 52-63). One hundred and 31 (95.6%) patients were admitted to the ICU on invasive mechanical ventilation (MV). The median time on invasive MV in the ICU was 12 hours (IQR: 5-28) and 97 patients (74%) were extubated within 24 hours of ICU admission. The median highest positive end expiratory pressure and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO
conclusionMost HPS patients have short durations of MV, ICU, and hospital LOS post-LT. HPS severity does not impact hospital mortality.
