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

A 33-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis following bilateral sequential cadaveric lung transplantation experienced prolonged intermittent liver enzyme elevation. An abdominal ultrasound revealed increased hepatic echogenicity and cirrhotic features, warranting further investigation with iron studies and liver biopsy, which confirmed hereditary hemochromatosis. This rare case underscores the importance of considering hereditary hemochromatosis post lung transplantation irrespective of not receiving multiple blood products or iron replacement.
