Bone Mineral Density in Relation to Chronic Kidney Disease After Heart Transplantation: A Retrospective Single-center Study at Skåne University Hospital in Lund 1988-2016.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundOur aim was to investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) evolution and incidence of osteoporosis in relation to chronic kidney disease (CKD) up to 10 years after heart transplantation (HT).
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 159 HT patients at Skåne University Hospital in Lund 1988-2016.
resultsThe median follow-up time was 6.1 years (interquartile range = 7.5 y). HT patients with CKD stage <3 or normal kidney function before HT exhibited a greater mean BMD loss in the lumbar spine, compared to patients with CKD stage ≥3 before HT, at the first (-6.6% versus -2.5%,
conclusionsCKD before HT did not predict BMD loss or osteoporosis development after HT. The study is, however, limited by a lack of data on fractures, and further studies on the relationship between CKD and postoperative bone strength are encouraged.
