Prognosis of patients with systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease on the lung transplant waiting list: a retrospective study.

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
Advanced systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) can be treated with lung transplantation. There is limited data on lung transplantation outcomes in patients with SSc-ILD, in non-Western populations.We assessed survival data of patients with SSc-ILD, on the lung transplant (LT) waiting list, and evaluated post-transplant outcomes in patients from an Asian LT center. In this single-center retrospective study, 29 patients with SSc-ILD, registered for deceased LT at Kyoto University Hospital, between 2010 and 2022, were identified. We investigated post-transplant outcomes in recipients who underwent LT for SSc-ILD, between February 2002 and April 2022. Ten patients received deceased-donor LT (34%), two received living-donor LT (7%), seven died waiting for LT (24%), and ten survived on the waiting list (34%). Median duration from registration to deceased-donor LT was 28.9 months and that from registration to living-donor LT or death was 6.5 months. Analysis of 15 recipients showed improved forced vital capacity with a median of 55.1% at baseline, 65.8% at 6 months, and 80.3% at 12 months post-transplant. The 5-year survival rate for post-transplant patients with SSc-ILD was 86.2%. The higher post-transplant survival rate at our institute than previously reported suggests that lung transplantation is acceptable in Asian patients with SSc-ILD.
