Improved left ventricular mass index in children after renal transplantation.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and it is prevalent in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and after renal transplantation (RTx) on cross-sectional studies. Our aim was to compare prospectively left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in children with ESRD, before and after RTx. Thirteen patients aged 1.5-15 years underwent echocardiogram prior to and at least 3 months after RTx, and again in the second year after transplantation. A control group consisted of children with ESRD who remained on dialysis. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure index decreased significantly over the study period only in the children who had undergone RTx. Mean LVMI in children with ESRD decreased from 45.4 +/- 12.6 g/m(2.7) to 34.9 +/- 10.4 g/m(2.7) after RTx (P = 0.001), but it remained unchanged in patients who remained on dialysis. The prevalence of LVH decreased from 54% to 8% (P = 0.03) after RTx. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure index were correlated with LVMI. Mean body mass index increased during the study period from 17.3 +/- 2.5 to 20 +/- 4.6 (P = 0.05); however, no correlation was found with LVMI. LVH in children with ESRD is potentially reversible after RTx, especially with good control of hypertension.
