The effect of donor-recipient sex matches on lung transplant survival: An analysis of the United Network for Organ Sharing database.
Article in JTCVS open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To investigate the impact of donor-recipient (DR) sex matches on survival after lung transplantation while controlling for size difference in the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) database. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 27,423 lung transplant recipients who were reported in the UNOS database (January 2005-March 2020). Patients were divided into groups based on their respective DR sex match: male to male (MM), male to female (MF), female to female, (FF), and female to male (FM). Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox regression with log-rank tests were used to assess 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival. We also modeled survival for each group after controlling for size-related variables via the Cox regression. Results: Kaplan-Meier curves showed overall significance at 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year end points ( Conclusions: When variables associated with size were controlled for, FF had improved survival than other DR groups. A female recipient may experience longer survival with a female donor's lungs versus a male donor's lungs of similar size.
