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

The increased need for heart transplantation in patients with advanced heart failure has introduced demand for a greater supply of donor hearts. Progress in cross-species experimental models has led to promise for ushering in the clinical use of xenotransplantation (XTx) as a potential solution to the organ shortage worldwide. In this review, the authors first highlight the historical advances that led to the first pig-to-human heart transplantation, a landmark moment in the field of advanced heart failure. The authors discuss immunologic, infectious, and physiological challenges for implementation of XTx, as well as innovations in the science of genetic manipulation that allowed clinical translation of this therapy. The authors consider ongoing barriers that affect ongoing translation of this technology into clinical care in the current era. Finally, the authors propose a framework for advancing clinical application of XTx.
