Up to an Hour of Donor Resuscitation Does Not Affect Pediatric Heart Transplantation Survival.
Article in The Annals of thoracic surgery, 2024. 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
backgroundIn pediatric heart transplantation, surgeons historically avoided donors requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), despite evidence that donor CPR does not change posttransplant survival (PTS). This study sought to determine whether CPR duration affects PTS.
methodsAll potential brain-dead donors aged <40 years from 2001 to 2021 consented for heart procurement were identified in the United Network for Organ Sharing database (n = 54,671). Organ acceptance was compared by CPR administration and duration. All recipients aged <18 years with donor CPR data were then identified (n = 5680). Survival analyses were conducted using increasing CPR duration as a cut point to identify the shortest duration beyond which PTS worsened. Additional analyses were performed with multivariable and cubic spline regression.
resultsFifty-one percent of donors (28,012 of 54,671) received CPR. Donor acceptance was lower after CPR (54% vs 66%; P < .001) and across successive quartiles of CPR duration (P < .001). Of the transplant recipients, 48% (2753 of 5680) belonged to the no-CPR group, and 52% (2927 of 5680) belonged to the CPR group. Kaplan-Meier analyses of CPR duration attained significance at 55 minutes, after which PTS worsened (11.1 years vs 9.2 years; P = .025). There was no survival difference between the CPR ≤55 minutes group and the no-CPR group (11.1 years vs 11.2 years; P = .571). A cubic spline regression model confirmed that PTS worsened at more than 55 minutes of CPR. A Cox regression demonstrated that CPR >55 minutes predicted worsened PTS relative to no CPR (HR, 1.51; P = .007) but CPR ≤55 minutes did not (HR, 1.01; P = .864).
conclusionsDonor CPR decreases organ acceptance for transplantation; however, shorter durations (≤55 minutes) had equivalent PTS when controlling for other risk factors.
