Figure 1 The parameter(s) used for the size matching were extracted for each study.
For all studies that did not report recipient pTLC (pTLCrecipient), full donor pTLC (pTLCdonorFull) and donor pTLC after lobar resection (pTLCdonorLobar) the study authors were contacted and asked to provide: Recipient age, height and sex (to calculate pTLCrecipient); donor age, height and sex (to calculate pTLCdonorFull) and information on donor lobes transplanted [to calculate pTLCdonorLobar = (pTLCdonorFull) × (number donor lung segments transplanted/19)] for each donor and recipient pair. From this the pTLCratio that would have occurred using the entire donor lungs was calculated as pTLCratioFull = pTLCdonorFull/pTLCrecipient. The pTLC ratio that was actually transplanted via the lobar transplantation was calculated as pTLCratioLobar = pTLCdonorLobar/pTLCrecipient. ddLLTx: Deceased-donor-lobar lung transplantation.
