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

Left ventricular hypertrophy in heart transplant recipients has been attributed to the use of calcineurin inhibitors. We assessed left ventricular mass across treatment arms in 83 heart transplant recipients in the Scandinavian heart transplant everolimus de novo study with early calcineurin inhibitors avoidance (SCHEDULE), and in 75 maintenance recipients in the Nordic Certican Trial in Heart and Lung Transplantation (NOCTET). In SCHEDULE, we randomized participants to treatment with calcineurin inhibitors or replacement with everolimus within 7-11 weeks after transplant. In NOCTET, participants were randomized to treatment with calcineurin inhibitors or a combination of low dose calcineurin inhibitors and everolimus. We followed patients with echocardiography for 3 years in the SCHEDULE trial and for 5 years in NOCTET. In SCHEDULE, left ventricular mass diminished with time, particularly across the first year of follow-up (everolimus arm: -10 ± 18 g/m
