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

Rationale & Objective: Black kidney transplant recipients have higher prevalences of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and less intensive risk factor control than White kidney transplant recipients. Our objective was to evaluate racial disparities in receipt of statins and aspirin for secondary CVD prevention among kidney transplant recipients in the Folic Acid for Vascular Outcome Reduction in Transplantation (FAVORIT) trial. Study Design: Cohort study. Setting & Participants: FAVORIT participants of White, Black, and Other races from the United States and Canada with a history of CVD at study entry or who experienced a nonfatal CVD event during follow-up. Predictor: Race. Outcome: Receipt of statins and aspirin for secondary CVD prevention. Analytical Approach: We used parametric (Weibull), proportional-hazards, interval-censored survival models to evaluate the independent association of race with receipt of statins and aspirin for secondary CVD prevention. Results: Of the 4,110 kidney transplant recipients enrolled in FAVORIT trial, 978 met the inclusion criteria (78% White, 17% Black, and 6% Other race). Compared with the White race, Black and Other races were associated with lower hazards of receiving statins (Black race: adjusted HR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.60-0.97]; Other race: adjusted HR, 0.87 [95% CI, 0.60-1.27]) and aspirin (Black race: adjusted HR, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.67-1.08]; Other race: adjusted HR, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.43-0.94]). Limitations: Lack of granular information on potential indications or contraindications for aspirin or statin use for secondary CVD prevention. Conclusions: Post hoc findings from the FAVORIT trial demonstrated that Black race was associated with a lower likelihood of receiving statins and Other race was associated with a lower likelihood of receiving aspirin for secondary CVD prevention. This represents a potential target to improve CVD care in non-White kidney transplant recipients.
