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

Background: We evaluated the association between race/ethnicity and failure to rescue (FTR) following lung transplantation. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 34,184 patients undergoing primary lung transplantation (2006-2024). Race/ethnicity was categorized as non-Hispanic White (81.3%), non-Hispanic Black (9.5%), and Hispanic (9.1%). The primary outcome was FTR. Logistic regression identified predictors of FTR, while Cox proportional hazards models assessed the association between race/ethnicity and outcomes. Results: Black patients experienced the highest rates of postoperative complications (26.3%) compared to non-Hispanic White (17.9%) and Hispanic patients (19.6%) (p < 0.001). Mortality rate was also highest among Black patients (6.8%) compared to White (5.0%) and Hispanic patients (4.8%) (p <0.001). However, race/ethnicity was not independently associated with FTR. Risk factors for FTR included dialysis at transplant (OR 2.05, 95% CI: 1.28-3.29, p=0.003), double lung transplant (OR 1.30, 95% CI: 1.09-1.56, p=0.004), and prolonged ischemic time (OR 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.08, p=0.001). Conclusions: While Black patients experienced higher complication and mortality rates, race/ethnicity was not independently linked to FTR after lung transplantation.
