Cholesterol efflux in the transplant patient.
Review in Current opinion in endocrinology, diabetes, and obesity, 2018. 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 reviewCholesterol metabolism is increasingly recognized in inflammatory diseases including transplantation. This review discusses the mechanistic underpinnings that tie macrophage cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to chronic rejection in transplanted patients. RECENT
findingsAnimal studies suggest that administration of apolipoprotein A-I, the main protein constituent of HDL, can prevent transplant arteriosclerosis. apoA-I administration increases CEC of HDL. In patients with cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), decreased CEC has been associated with poorer survival. In addition, reduced CEC in recipients, pretransplant, has been associated with the development of CAV and renal allograft survival. SUMMARY: These recent findings raise the hypothesis that increasing cholesterol efflux may prevent chronic rejection and improve allograft survival after transplant. Reconstituted HDL significantly increases CEC and is currently in clinical development for traditional atherosclerosis. Clinical trials of reconstituted HDL administration in transplantation should be performed.
