Combined Heart-Liver Transplantation: A First Successful Case in Chile.
Article in Cureus, 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
Combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) is a rare and highly complex procedure reserved for patients with end-stage failure of both organs. We report the first successful CHLT performed in Chile, involving a 55-year-old man with severe dilated cardiomyopathy and chronic liver disease who underwent sequential bicaval heart transplantation followed by piggyback liver transplantation. The postoperative course was complicated by acute neurological deterioration due to an acute subdural hematoma with tentorial extension requiring decompressive craniectomy, after which the patient recovered fully. More than one year after transplantation, he remains in excellent health, physically active, and fully reintegrated into work, with excellent function of both grafts. This case highlights the feasibility of CHLT in Chile and underscores the importance of multidisciplinary evaluation and coordinated perioperative management in optimizing outcomes for patients with advanced multi-organ failure.
