The association between body mass index, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life in heart transplant recipients.
Article in Frontiers in transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Pre-transplant obesity and weight gain after heart transplantation are both associated with increased risk of poor clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess the association between overweight or obesity, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life in heart transplant recipients. Methods: This study is based on baseline data from the IronIC trial, in which we randomized 102 heart transplant recipients with iron deficiency to ferric derisomaltose or placebo. We performed cardio pulmonary exercise testing in all participants. To assess quality of life, we used the SF-36v2 questionnaire, using two sum scores: the physical component summary and the mental component summary. A minimal clinically important difference was defined as ≥2 and ≥3 for the physical and the mental component summary, respectively. Results: 24/102 heart transplant recipients (24%) had a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m Conclusion: Almost a quarter of our heart transplant recipients in long-term follow-up had a BMI ≥30 kg/m
