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

Lung transplantation is associated with a higher morbidity and mortality compared with transplantation of other solid organs, which is related, in part, to the occurrence of airway complications. A bronchoesophageal fistula associated with dehiscence of the right bronchial anastomosis developed in a 59-year-old man after bilateral lung transplantation. Multiple endoscopic and bronchoscopic stent procedures failed to close the fistula. Five months after the lung transplant, the fistula was successfully closed with an Amplatzer ADO septal occluder device. One year later, the fistula was still closed, but because of the development of multiple gastrointestinal complications, the patient received palliative care.
