Pharmacological vs Exercise Stress Echocardiography for Detection of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy.
Article in Mayo Clinic proceedings. Innovations, quality & outcomes, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo test the hypothesis that exercise and dobutamine would provide levels of cardiac stress that are comparable to those achieved in a general stress test population, and to one another, in heart transplant recipients. PATIENTS AND
methodsFrom February 10, 2015, to December 31, 2017, 81 patients underwent exercise stress (N=45) or dobutamine stress (N=36) echocardiography at a mean ± SD of 11±14 years (range, 1-29 years) after heart transplant. Hemodynamic and inotropic responses were compared between groups, and to a prior test, longitudinally. The primary outcome was peak heart rate (HR) × systolic blood pressure (SBP).
resultsPeak exercise HR × SBP × 10
conclusionExercise induces a level of cardiac stress that is equal to or greater than dobutamine-induced stress, at lower cost, in heart transplant recipients who express preference for exercise stress testing.
