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 Transplant Consortium (LTC), sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is a 20-center collaboration among lung transplant programs in North America conducting both smaller multicenter projects and one consortium-wide prospective observational cohort study called the Prospective Multicenter Research on Donor and Recipient Management Strategies to Improve Lung Transplant Outcomes (PROMISE) Lung Study-for more information about the LTC, visit their website: https://lungtransplantconsortium.org/. The LTC conducted a meeting in April 2025 to strategize how to maximize the benefits of the PROMISE study to advance the field of lung transplant. This paper summarizes the key themes that emerged from the meeting: leveraging PROMISE data elements, including biomarkers, imaging, and PROs; clinical syndrome and consensus definitions; variation in management and management strategies; and future interventional trials leveraging the PROMISE consortium. The PROMISE study will serve as the platform for establishing best practices in lung transplant, inform the validity of newly identified syndromes, and support analysis of patient-reported outcomes, image data, and biosamples. The PROMISE study and LTC create a critically needed research platform and multicenter collaborative structure that may be adapted to conduct future multicenter clinical trials that will advance lung transplant medicine.
