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

Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, and side effects induced by immunosuppressive therapy may be a major contributor to this risk, together with traditional CV risk factors. Many strategies have been considered in order to reduce CV risk in KTRs, such as steroid and/or calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) minimization, but current data are inconclusive. The introduction of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, the cornerstone of CNI minimization, in the immunosuppressive protocol may reduce both the incidence and severity of CNI-associated side effects; however, whether this strategy has an impact on CV risk after kidney transplantation needs to be evaluated. To this end, a panel of Italian experts in the field of transplantation was convened in a series of meetings to assess the current literature on the potential of the mTOR inhibitor everolimus as a cardioprotective agent. This narrative review summarizes the panel's round-table discussions and provides recommendations for CV risk management in KTRs.
