Sex Differences in Heart Transplantation: Evolving Trends and Insights.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to provide an updated overview of recent findings and trends in heart transplantation among female patients in the United States. RECENT
findingsFemale patients continue to make up a smaller proportion of both transplant recipients and those on the waiting list and tend to experience longer wait times for transplantation. However, under the new allocation system, some positive shifts have emerged. Outcomes for female patients with ventricular assist devices have improved, and women are now being transplanted earlier than men, with more receiving a transplant within six months of listing. Additionally, offer acceptance rates for female candidates have increased. In pediatric transplantation, the proportion of female patients on the waitlist has also risen. Despite these advancements, significant challenges persist. Women continue to face lower levels of social and emotional support, higher rates of vascular complications, and reduced utilization of mechanical circulatory support. Although women remain underrepresented in heart transplantation, emerging trends suggest improvements in certain areas, potentially due to the new allocation system. Continued efforts are needed to further address and mitigate these disparities.
