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

Heart transplantation is the standard of care treatment for end-stage heart failure. Therapeutic advances including enhanced immunosuppression and aggressive infectious prophylaxis have led to increased life-expectancy following transplantation; however, cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Although coronary angiography is the current guideline-recommended diagnostic modality for invasive CAV screening, it is limited in its ability to detect early and/or diffuse disease. Efforts to improve outcomes for heart transplant recipients with CAV have focused on developing diagnostic tools with greater sensitivity to capture early CAV in order to better understand the pathobiology and implement treatment to slow disease progression sooner after transplant. The contemporary invasive imaging armamentarium for CAV surveillance includes coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and newer technologies including optical coherence tomography and near-infrared spectroscopy. The present review outlines the use of and data in support of these imaging platforms in the CAV arena and highlights the potential advantages and limitations of each of these modalities.
