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 donor shortage in lung transplantation is further exacerbated by the highest organ turn-down rate among all solid organ transplants. Here we present a case of planned single-lung ex-vivo lung perfusion that enabled the use of a single lung for transplantation, that otherwise may have gone unallocated. Creative management of the donor trachea enabled use of both the left and right lungs for separate recipients. Techniques like this may inspire confidence in expansion in use of ex-vivo lung perfusion and a commensurate increase in donor organ utilization for lung transplantation.
