Impact of donor organ quality on recipient outcomes in lung transplantation: 14-Year single-center experience using the Eurotransplant lung donor score.

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: The use of extended-criteria donor (ECD) organs has increased in lung transplantation, but their impact on long-term outcomes remains unclear. This retrospective single-center study evaluates the impact of donor quality, as defined by the Eurotransplant (ET) lung donor score, on long-term graft function and survival. Methods: Records of recipients transplanted between January 2010 and May 2023 were reviewed. Eurotransplant lung donor scores (ET scores) were retrospectively calculated from the corresponding donor reports. Outcomes were compared between recipients of donor lungs with an ET score of 6 (group 1), 7 and 8 (group 2), and 9 to 13 (group 3, ECD lungs). Median follow-up was 64 (30-104) months. Results: In total, 280 (19%) patients were transplanted with ET score 6 lungs, 717 (48%) patients with ET scores 7 and 8 lungs, and 506 (34%) patients with ET scores 9 to 13 (ECD) lungs. The occurrence of primary graft dysfunction grade 3 at 72 hours ( Conclusions: ECD lungs represented an important resource in lung transplantation. However, their use may be associated with a worse long-term graft and CLAD-free survival.
