Is it safe to proceed with heart transplant in a patient with active tuberculosis? Strategies and challenges based on a case report.
Article in JHLT open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Transplant candidates are at increased risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB), and its diagnosis and treatment may be especially challenging. Although screening and treatment for TB are recommended in heart transplant candidates, there is lack of evidence on how to manage active TB infection in this scenario. Herein, we report challenges of performing a heart transplant in a 69-year-old patient with progressive heart failure and active, symptomatic TB infection. We aimed to emphasize the importance of proper screening of TB in solid organ transplant candidates, as well as to suggest that, in selected patients, it may be safe to proceed with transplant after an initial period of treatment with antituberculous agents.
