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

This report details the challenging journey of a 58-year-old male with a progressive fibrotic lung disease who needed a lung transplantation (LTx). Residing on the remote island of St. Eustatius, access to specialized medical care was limited, but he was entitled to receive appropriate medical care in the Netherlands. Collaborative efforts among medical teams across the world resulted in a successful transatlantic transport of the patient on awake veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) to the Netherlands. A successful LTx was performed without complications. This case shows that vv-ECMO flight transport, when conducted by an experienced team, is a safe procedure for highly selected lung transplant candidates.
