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

COPD and α-1 antitrypsin deficiency emphysema remain one of the major indications for lung transplantation. If all other treatment possibilities are exhausted or not possible (including rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, noninvasive ventilation, lung volume reduction), patients may qualify for lung transplantation. Strict selection criteria are implemented with a lot of relative and absolute contraindications. Because of an ongoing donor shortage, only a minority of endstage COPD patients will finally get transplanted. The procedure may involve a single or a double lung transplantation, dependent on the experience of the centre, the waiting list, the availability of donor lungs and the patient's risk-benefit ratio. In general, the life expectancy as well as the health-related quality of life after lung transplantation for COPD are usually increased, and may be somewhat better after double compared with single lung transplantation. Several specific complications can be encountered, such as the development of solid organ cancer and chronic lung allograft dysfunction, which develops in up to 50% of patients within 5 years of their transplant and has a major impact on long-term survival, because of the current inefficient treatment modalities.
