Prolonged waitlisting is associated with mortality in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-supported heart transplantation candidates.
Article in JTCVS open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: Heart transplantation (HTx) candidates supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be listed at highest status 1 but are at inherent risk for ECMO-related complications. The effect of waitlist time on postlisting survival remains unclear in candidates with ECMO support who are listed using the new allocation system. Methods: Adult candidates listed with ECMO for a first-time, single-organ HTx from October 18, 2018, to March 21, 2021, in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database were included and stratified according to waitlist time (≤7 vs ≥8 days). Postlisting outcomes were compared between cohorts. Results: Among 175 candidates waitlisted for ≤7 days, 162 (92.6%) underwent HTx whereas 13 (7.4%) died/deteriorated compared with 41 (57.8%) and 21 (29.6%) of the 71 candidates waitlisted for ≥8 days, respectively ( Conclusions: Among ECMO-supported candidates, obtaining HTx within 1 week of listing might improve overall survival.
