Impact of Culture-Positive Preservation Fluid on Early Morbidity and Mortality After Lung Transplantation.
Article in Transplant international : official journal of the European Society for Organ Transplantation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The prevalence, risk factors and outcomes associated with culture-positive preservation fluid (PF) after lung transplantation (LT) are unknown. From January 2015 to December 2020, the microbiologic analyses of PF used to store the cold ischaemia-placed lung graft(s) of 271 lung transplant patients were retrospectively studied. Culture-positive PF was defined as the growth of any microorganism. Eighty-three (30.6%) patients were transplanted with lung grafts stored in a culture-positive PF. One-third of culture-positive PF were polymicrobial. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were the most frequently isolated microorganisms. No risk factors for culture-positive PF based on donor characteristics were identified. Forty (40/83; 48.2%) patients had postoperative pneumonia on Day 0 and 2 (2/83; 2.4%) patients had pleural empyema with at least one identical bacteria isolated in culture-positive PF. The 30-day survival rate was lower for patients with culture-positive PF compared with patients with culture-negative PF (85.5% vs. 94.7%,
