Patient reported outcomes measures are infrequently used in clinical studies of heart transplant recipients.
Article in JHLT open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundClinical trials in heart transplantation (HT) recipients have largely focused on objective outcomes such as survival; however, there is a paucity of data regarding the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in these studies. We aimed to characterize the use of PROMs in registered clinical studies of HT recipients.
methodsAll clinical studies of adult HT recipients were queried from ClinicalTrials.gov and stratified by inclusion of PROMs. Studies reporting PROMs were identified via specific search terms using the "outcomes measures" field. Summary statistics compared characteristics of studies with and without PROMs.
resultsBetween November 1999 and August 2022, 227 studies of HT recipients were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. PROMs were included in 11% (
conclusionsAbout 1 in 10 registered clinical trials of HT recipients includes PROMs, and mental health is the most commonly assessed PROM domain. Development and validation of PROM tools is needed to fully assess health-related quality of life in HT recipients.
