Evaluating cancer risk profiles in lung transplant recipients.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: De novo post-transplant malignancy (PTM) is a significant complication after transplantation. Limited research exists on the incidence rates in recent lung transplant recipients (LTRs). This study aims to determine the risk spectrum of malignancies in LTRs and analyze their temporal evolution. Methods: Data on 32,480 LTRs were extracted from the United States (U.S.) Organ Procurement Transplant Network/United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database. We described the annual incidence rates and calculated the standardized incidence ratio (SIR). Results: Among the 32,480 LTRs, the cancer incidence rate was 23.11%. The incidence of malignancies varied over time, initially increasing and then stabilizing in the first 10 years post-transplant. The overall incidence of cancers excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) remained stable, with some tumors linked to viral infections being more common early on. Older age at transplantation and male gender were associated with higher cancer incidence risk. Besides cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) (n=3,706) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) (n=1,054), the most common malignancies were lung cancer [n=580; incidence rate 455.55 per 100,000 person-years (PY); SIR =4.088] and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (n=578; incidence rate 453.98 per 100,000 PY; SIR =13.266). Conclusions: LTRs have a higher cancer risk compared to the general population. Targeted monitoring based on PTM occurrence patterns is necessary to prevent and detect tumors early. These findings assist in identifying high cancer incidence periods and guide predictions of tumor development.
