1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Lung transplantation is a treatment for end-stage lung disease. The optimal transplant strategy for patients with end-stage lung disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension (PH) is controversial. The aim of this study is to review this experience and analyze the outcomes of lung transplantation for PH. Methods: This retrospective study collected data on patients with PH undergoing lung transplantation between March 2016 and December 2019 at a single center in China. The perioperative features and short- and medium-term outcomes between single-lung transplantation (SLT) and double-lung transplantation (DLT) were compared. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to analyze overall survival across a variety of transplantation procedures, age, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), body mass index (BMI), and indications of transplantation. Results: A total of 63 patients with PH were finally included in the analysis. The mean age, mean BMI, and mPAP were 56.37 years, 19.56 kg/m Conclusions: The short- and medium-term survival outcomes between SLT and DLT are similar in selected patients with PH. DLT provides better pulmonary function. Patients older than 60 years are associated with worse survival.
