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 lung composite allocation score (CAS) aims to improve waitlist outcomes for lung transplant candidates by prioritizing characteristics that reflect transplant urgency, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridge to lung transplant (ECMO-BTT). Whether ECMO-BTT has been impacted by CAS is unknown. We analyzed the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network database to examine differences in ECMO-BTT utilization and characteristics and outcomes between transplant recipients who were transplanted one year before and one year after CAS implementation. Lung transplant recipients who received ECMO-BTT in the post-CAS era were younger (
