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

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of delaying lung transplantation until morning for donors with cross-clamp times occurring after 1:30 am. Methods: All consented adult lung transplant recipients between March 2018 and May 2022 with donor cross-clamp times between 1:30 am and 5 am were enrolled prospectively in this study. Skin incision for enrolled recipients was delayed until 6:30 am (Night group). The control group was identified using a 1:2 logistic propensity score method and included recipients of donors with cross-clamp times occurring at any other time of day (Day group). Short- and medium-term outcomes were examined between groups. The primary endpoint was early mortality (30-day and in-hospital). Results: Thirty-four patients were enrolled in the Night group, along with 68 well-matched patients in the Day group. As expected, donors in the Night group had longer cold ischemia times compared to the Day group (344 minutes vs 285 minutes; Conclusions: Lung transplant recipients with donor cross-clamp times scheduled after 1:30 am may safely have their operations delayed until 6:30 am with acceptable outcomes. Adoption of such a policy in clinically appropriate settings may lead to an alternative workflow and improved team well-being.
