1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Heart transplant is an established modality for the treatment of heart disease refractory to medical therapy. The last 50 years have seen the evolution of immune suppression therapy and standardization of protocols which have significantly improved outcomes following cardiac transplants. Donor availability is the main limiting factor and has restricted the number of heart transplants worldwide. Simultaneously, left ventricular assist devices have evolved to provide a "bridge" for recovery and transplant and alternatively as destination therapy to those waiting for the availability of a donor. This review article provides an overview of the current status of heart transplants after half a century and specific issues pertaining to our country.
