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

Little is known about the comparative differences between the Allosure (CareDx) and Prospera (Natera) donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) assays following heart transplantation. We retrospectively analyzed 248 consecutive samples that had both dd-cfDNA assays simultaneously performed. Twenty-six biopsy specimens were available within 7 days from dd-cfDNA assays. Both dd-cfDNA assays were correctly suggestive of rejection when biopsy was available. However, discordant classifications were present in 23/248 samples when utilizing respective recommended cutoff values for each assay (0.12% for Allosure and 0.15% for Prospera). Discordance was due to increased classification as abnormal results with Allosure (McNemar's
