Changing racial and ethnic differences for lung transplantation in cystic fibrosis.
Article in Pediatric transplantation, 2023. 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
backgroundCFTR modulators, especially (elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor), have positively impacted the CF population and quickly decreased LTx numbers. However, no study has investigated if this reduction is universal across all races/ethnicities.
methodsUsing the UNOS Registry, we explored the frequency/proportions of LTx in WNH and NW (Black, non-Hispanic/Hispanic-Latino/Asian-non Hispanic/American Indian-Alaskan Native-non-Hispanic/Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander-non-Hispanic/Multiracial) in children and adults with CF in the US.
resultsBetween 1990 and 2019, the annual mean (±SD) number of LTxs for children with CF was 23.2 (±7.7) compared to 5 in 2020 (p < .001) and in 2021 (p < .001). In adults from 1990 to 2019, the mean (±SD) number of LTxs performed was 144.9 (±73.5), which was significantly higher than 2020 (n = 73; p < .001) and 2021 (n = 45; p < .001). Comparing 1990-2019 to post-2019, the proportion of LTxs performed in both children and adults with CF has decreased from 50.5% (696/1378) to 16.4% (9/55) and from 12.1% (4773/39542) to 2.4% (118/5004), respectively. In WNH pediatric patients, the difference in the percentage of all LTx made up by CF patients between the two eras was 41.2% compared to NW patients where the difference was 11%. Similarly in adults, the difference between the two eras was 10.4% in WNH and 2.4% in NW patients.
conclusionsThe recent reduction in LTx for the CF population has had less impact on the NW population in the US, so the continuation of optimal referrals for this group is needed.
