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

Living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) is a well-established surgical procedure with favorable outcomes; however, the frequency of readmission and costs in LDLLT are poorly understood. Here, we aimed to compare health care costs and readmissions at 90 days and 1 year after the index discharge in LDLLT and cadaveric lung transplantation (CLT) and evaluate the reasons for readmission and in-hospital mortality. In this retrospective cohort study, we used the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, a nationwide inpatient database in Japan to obtain initial lung transplantation data for all patients from July 2010 to March 2020. Multivariable Poisson or multiple regression analyses after multiple imputation was performed to compare the cumulative number of readmissions and costs between patients receiving LDLLT and CLT. Among 514 recipients, 115 (22%) underwent LDLLT and 399 (78%) received CLT. Overall, in-hospital mortality after transplantation was 4.5%. The LDLLT group showed a significantly lower crude readmission rate (90 days, 22% vs 37%,
