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 COVID-19 pandemic led to changes in heart transplantation, including transitioning from in-person to virtual selection committee meetings. The longer-term impact of this transition on committee perceptions and patient selection outcomes has not been described. An anonymous survey was administered to our institution's selection committee. Among 58 regular attendees, there were 21 physician and 21 nonphysician respondents. Selection outcomes were compared for patients discussed during in-person meetings (March 1, 2017-March 14, 2020) with those of virtual meetings (March 15, 2020-March 31, 2023). Though a virtual format was generally preferred, respondents highlighted a lack of accountability and spontaneous discussion. Among the 529 patients evaluated during the study period, there was a significant difference in selection outcomes between the virtual and in-person cohorts owing to lower rates of deferral and higher rates of approval in the virtual era overall (
