Native lung surgery after single lung transplantation: clinical characteristics and outcomes.

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
purposeSingle lung transplantation (SLT) is a viable option for patients with end-stage pulmonary parenchymal and vascular diseases. However, various diseases can occur in native lungs after SLT.
methodsBetween January 2000 and December 2021, 35 patients underwent cadaveric SLT and survived for more than 30 days in our hospital. Among these 35 patients, 10 required surgery for diseases that developed in their native lungs. The clinical characteristics of these 10 patients and the outcomes of native lung surgery (NLS) were investigated.
resultsAmong these ten patients, the indications for lung transplantation were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic interstitial pneumonia in three patients each, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis and collagen vascular disease-related interstitial pneumoniain two patients each. The causes of NLS included pneumothorax (n = 4), primary lung cancer (n = 2), native lung hyperinflation (n = 2), and pulmonary aspergilloma (n = 2). The surgical procedures were pneumonectomy (n = 7), lobectomy (n = 2), and alveolar-pleural fistula repair (n = 1). Only one postoperative complication, empyema, was treated with antibiotics. The 5-year overall survival rates after transplantation with and without NLS were 70.0% and 80.0%, respectively, and did not differ to a statistically extent (p = 0.56).
conclusionNLS is an effective treatment option for diseases that develop in the native lungs after SLT.
