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 ongoing global shortage of donor hearts dictates the need for innovative solutions to enlarge the donor pool and to reduce mortality of patients on the waiting list. The extended-heart-transplantation-criteria premise is to match patients who fall outside traditional eligibility criteria with donor hearts that have high risk features. In our case, the donor experienced ventricular fibrillation episodes. Given the idiopathic arrhythmogenic substrate of the transplanted heart, we decided to protect the receiver with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator in the short-term post heart transplantation. It represents the first experience worldwide in this specific setting of sudden cardiac death.
