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

introductionObliterative bronchiolitis, the clinical manifestation of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), is a major complication of lung transplantation and one of the primary causes of chronic lung allograft dysfunction leading to poor survival outcomes.

aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and outcomes of antireflux surgery in lung transplant recipients (LTRs) with BOS and associated gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis single-center study included 8 consecutive patients at a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 29 (25-46) years who underwent bilateral lung transplantation and subsequent antireflux surgery due to BOS. The decision to proceed with laparoscopic surgery was based on a diagnosis of GERD associated with a decline in pulmonary function, confirmed on bronchoscopy indicative of BOS. Follow-up lasted for 12 months.

resultsMedian (IQR) time since transplantation was 27 (15-55.5) months. Significant improvements in spirometric parameters were observed at 3 and 12 months postoperatively, as compared with baseline, including forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV

conclusionsThe study suggests that antireflux surgery in LTRs is a safe and effective approach for GERD management, while improving lung function with minimal adverse effects.
