Factors associated with quality of life in patients receiving lung transplantation: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundWith improved prognosis after lung transplantation (LTx), improving health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients who have undergone LTx is a key goal. Although HRQL is improved significantly after transplantation, it is poorer than that in ordinary healthy people. However, the factors associated with poor HRQL remain unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the factors associated with poor HRQL in patients who have undergone LTx.
methodsBetween December 2018 and May 2022, 80 patients who had undergone LTx completed St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) as a disease-specific quality of life measure, the Short Form-12 (SF-12) as a generic quality of life measure, and modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale of dyspnea. The groups were assigned according to the median SGRQ-total score and the Japanese population standard for SF-12, and those with good HRQL were compared with those with poor HRQL. Independent factors were evaluated using multivariate analysis.
resultsWith regard to the SGRQ, there were significant differences in the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
conclusionsDyspnea may be an independent factor of poor disease-specific and generic HRQL in LTx patients. The management of dyspnea may improve the HRQL in patients who have undergone LTx.
