Body mass index and mortality following primary graft dysfunction: A Lung Transplant Outcomes Group study.
Article in JHLT open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Higher body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of developing primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after lung transplantation; whether BMI is associated with decreased survival after PGD is unknown. We utilized the Lung Transplant Outcomes Group cohort of 1,538 subjects from 2011-2018. We evaluated the association between preoperative BMI and graft survival among subjects with severe PGD using Cox proportional hazards models with linear splines. Models were stratified by center and adjusted for sex, age, Lung Allocation Score, and diagnosis. PGD developed in 383 subjects. Among subjects with PGD, low BMI was associated with increased mortality while high BMI was not associated with differential mortality, compared to normal BMI. Results were similar for 90-day and 1-year survival. While high BMI increases the risk of developing PGD, it does not appear to be associated with survival after PGD. Future work should focus on PGD prevention rather than PGD management in patients with obesity.
