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

Heart transplantation (HTx) remains the gold standard treatment for end-stage heart failure in children but is restricted due to the limitation of donors. The donor-recipient weight ratio (DRWR) of 0.8-2.5 was the main selection criterion, and reports were particularly scarce in cases of DRWR > 3.0. We present an infant HTx case with DRWR of 6.5. The recipient was a 66-day-old female infant, weighing 3 kg, diagnosed with complex congenital heart disease and refractory severe heart failure, whereas the donor was a 4-year-old girl weighing 19.5 kg. The phased delayed sternal closure was performed and accomplished on the 23rd day after operation without wound infection. After treating complications with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, peritoneal dialysis, and mechanical ventilation, the patient was successfully discharged. After 1 year of follow-up, the patient was still in optimal condition. Extending DRWR range may help enlarge the donor pool and shorten recipients' waiting time.
