The role of mechanical ventilation in primary graft dysfunction in the postoperative lung transplant recipient: A single center study and literature review.
Review in Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05526950 (Cytokine Filtration in Lung Transplantation - a Randomised, Controlled, Multicentre Clinical Trial), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundPrimary graft dysfunction (PGD) is still a major complication in patients undergoing lung transplantation (LTx). Much is unknown about the effect of postoperative mechanical ventilation on outcomes, with debate on the best approach to ventilation. AIM/PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to generate hypotheses on the association between postoperative mechanical ventilation settings and allograft size matching in PGD development.
methodThis is a retrospective study of LTx patients between September 2011 and September 2018 (n = 116). PGD was assessed according to the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) criteria. Data were collected from medical records, including chest x-ray assessments, blood gas analysis, mechanical ventilator parameters and spirometry.
resultsPositive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP) of 5 cm H
conclusionOur results highlight a need for greater investigation of the role donor characteristics play in determining post-operative ventilation of a lung transplant recipient. The mechanical ventilation settings on postoperative LTx recipients may have an implication for the development of acute graft dysfunction. Severe PGD was associated with the use of a PEEP higher than 5 and lower tidal volumes and oversized lungs were associated with lower long-term mortality. Lack of association between ventilatory settings and survival may point to the importance of other variables than ventilation in the development of PGD.
