Recipient Pericardial Apolipoprotein Levels Might Be an Indicator of Worse Outcomes after Orthotopic Heart Transplantation.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEnd-stage heart failure (ESHF) leads to hypoperfusion and edema formation throughout the body and is accompanied by neurohormonal and immunological alterations. Orthotopic heart transplantation (HTX) has been used as a beneficial option for ESHF. Due to the shortage of donor hearts, the ideal matching and timing of donors and recipients has become more important. PURPOSE: In this study, our aim was to explore the relationship between the clinical outcomes of HTX and the cytokine and apolipoprotein profiles of the recipient pericardial fluid obtained at heart transplantation after opening the pericardial sac. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe clinical data and the interleukin, adipokine, and lipoprotein levels in the pericardial fluid of twenty HTX recipients were investigated. Outcome variables included primer graft dysfunction (PGD), the need for post-transplantation mechanical cardiac support (MCS), International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation grade ≥2R rejection, and mortality. Recipient risk scores were also investigated.
resultsLeptin levels were significantly lower in patients with PGD than in those without PGD (median: 6.36 (IQR: 5.55-6.62) versus 7.54 (IQR = 6.71-10.44);
conclusionOur results indicate that apolipoproteins can facilitate the monitoring of rejection and could be a useful tool in the forecasting of early and late complications.
