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

backgroundThe heart donor allocation system in South Korea is divided into three regions, with priority given to recipients within the same region over those in other regions of the same tier. It is commonly believed that heart transplantation (HT) within the same region can reduce ischemic time (IT), although its clinical impact remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics and outcomes of intra-region HT and inter-region HT.

methodsFrom 2014 to 2022, a total of 115 adult patients underwent isolated HT at a tertiary hospital. Of these, 58 recipients (54.5 ± 10.3 years, female, 36.2%) underwent intra-region HT and 57 recipients (53.9 ± 14.1 years, female, 31.6%) underwent inter-region HT. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-bridged HTs accounted for 50.0% and 54.4% of cases, respectively (

resultsThe median inter-hospital distance (38.0 [32.0-112.0] km vs. 351.0 [300.0-390.5] km,

conclusionDespite the difference in IT, there was no difference in postoperative outcomes between the two groups. Based on these findings, the effect of donor location on the outcomes of HT in South Korea is not considered significant.
