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

The importance of mental toughness on lung transplant outcomes is unknown. We performed a pilot study to assess whether pretransplant grit and resilience are associated with short-term posttransplant outcomes. We enrolled 31 lung transplant candidates, of whom 7 (26%) had greater mental toughness, defined as the upper tertile for both grit and resilience within our cohort. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between patients with higher and lower mental toughness. Greater mental toughness was associated with a shorter hospital length of stay (LOS) [12 days (interquartile range, IQR 10-12) vs. 17 days (IQR 14-24), p = 0.02] and reduced posttraumatic stress severity [median 0 (IQR 0-2) vs. 6.5 (IQR 4-9), p < 0.01]. On multivariable analyses adjusting for age and Duke Activity Status Index, greater mental toughness was associated with a shorter hospital LOS [beta = -11.96 (95% CI 0.05-23.86), p < 0.05] and reduced PTSD [beta = -10.7 (95% CI -21.6-0.04), p = 0.053]. Lung transplant candidates with greater mental toughness may have improved short-term outcomes.
