Primary Graft Dysfunction after Heart Transplantation: Current Evidence and Implications for Clinical Practice.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purpose of reviewThis review summarizes the current literature on primary graft dysfunction highlighting the current definition, reviewing epidemiology, and describing donor, recipient, and perioperative risk factors in the contemporary era. RECENT
findingsPGD, in its most severe form, complicates 8% of heart transplants and portends a 1-year mortality of close to 40%. PGD is multifactorial and heterogeneous with contributions from donor and recipient risk as well as organ recovery and preservation modalities. Biomarkers may enhance risk stratification and lend insight into the underlying mechanism of PGD. Temperature-controlled storage and hypothermic oxygenation perfusion systems, in particular, may have significant potential to mitigate PGD risk. PGD is a devastating early complication of heart transplantation that is both complex and multifactorial. Despite its incidence and impact the underlying biology of PGD remains poorly understood. Future studies mechanistic studies are needed to address the underlying pathophysiology of PGD to develop targeted prophylactic and/or therapeutic interventions.
