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

A 60-year-old male with COPD underwent right single lung transplantation. Despite progressive hyperinflation of the native left lung, the transplanted lung maintained function, as downward expansion of the left lung displaced the diaphragm without compressing the mediastinum. This suggests diaphragm mobility, aided by the absence of the liver beneath the left diaphragm, contributes to favorable outcomes in right single lung transplantation by preventing mechanical compression of the transplanted lung.
