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

Post-transplant infection caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) is a major challenge in heart transplantation, especially in recipients requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) before surgery. We describe a 52-year-old man with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and refractory cardiogenic shock who required VA-ECMO, intra-aortic balloon pump support, continuous renal replacement therapy, and mechanical ventilation before urgent heart transplantation. Before transplantation, he had active pneumonia. Donor respiratory culture grew
