Cardiovascular Disease Assessment Prior to Kidney Transplantation.
Review in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 2022. 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
Cardiovascular disease is highly prevalent and the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease, end-stage kidney disease, and kidney transplantation. However, kidney transplantation offers improved survival and quality of life, with an overall reduction in cardiovascular disease events; therefore, it remains the optimal treatment choice for those with advanced kidney disease. Pretransplantation cardiovascular assessment is performed prior to wait-listing and at routine intervals with the principal goal of screening for asymptomatic cardiac disease, intervening when necessary to improve long-term patient and allograft survival. Current clinical practice guidelines are based on expert opinion, with a lack of high-quality evidence to guide standardized screening practices. Recent studies support de-escalation in screening with avoidance of preemptive revascularization in asymptomatic patients, but they fail to provide clear guidance on how best to assess the cardiovascular fitness of this high-risk group. Herein we summarize current practice guidelines, discuss key study findings, highlight the role of optimal medical therapy, and evaluate future directions for cardiovascular disease assessment in this population.
