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

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) represents an important clinical indication for lung transplant (LTx) in children. Recent trends show fewer children with IPAH are undergoing LTx nowadays compared to previous time periods, including those with most severe form of the disease. Using the UNOS Registry, we investigated if ECMO at the time of transplant impacts post-transplant survival in children with IPAH. A total of 74 LTx recipients while on ECMO at the time of transplant were identified (IPAH: N = 12). Children with IPAH who underwent LTx while on ECMO had shown comparable survival rates to those who were on ECMO for other conditions. This analysis provides encouraging results, supporting the potential expansion of LTx for this patient population. Given the low number of children undergoing LTx, we think there should be a consensus document to provide better guidance for referring and selecting the high-risk pediatric population with IPAH on ECMO for lung transplant.
