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 first heart transplantation in the United States was performed in 1968. The first national heart allocation system was developed two decades later in 1988 as a two-tiered system. Our current heart allocation system, adopted in 2018 as a six-tiered system, is evolving to become a continuous distribution model. Herein, we review the history of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, the evolution of the cardiac allocation system, modern day challenges of the current heart allocation system policy, and the future of transplantation given ongoing implementation of the modernization initiative.
