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

No studies have examined the impact of multimorbidity and socioeconomic position (SEP) on adherence to the pharmacological therapies following heart transplantation (HTx). Using nationwide Danish registers, we tested the hypothesis that multimorbidity and SEP affect treatment patterns and adherence to pharmacological therapies in first-time HTx recipients. Pharmacological management included cost-free immunosuppressants and adjuvant medical treatment (preventive and hypertensive pharmacotherapies; loop diuretics). We enrolled 512 recipients. The median (IQR) age was 51 years (38-58 years) and 393 recipients (77%) were males. In recipients with at least two chronic diseases, prevalence of treatment with antihypertensive pharmacotherapies and loop diuretics was higher. The overall prevalence of adherence to treatment with tacrolimus or mycophenolate mofetil was at least 80%. Prevalence of adherence to preventive pharmacotherapies ranged between 65% and 95% and between 66% and 88% for antihypertensive pharmacotherapies and loop diuretics, respectively. In socioeconomically disadvantaged recipients, both the number of recipients treated with and adherence to cost-free everolimus, lipid modifying agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme/angiotensin II inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and loop diuretics were lower. In recipients with multimorbidity, prevalence of treatment with antihypertensive pharmacotherapies and loop diuretics was higher. Among socioeconomically disadvantaged recipients, both number of patients treated with and adherence to cost-free everolimus and adjuvant pharmacotherapies were lower.
