We use the technique of Ford & Gaudi, in which a difference is sought between the observed transit time and the transit time that is calculated by fitting a two-body Keplerian orbit to the radial-velocity data. This technique is sensitive to the imbalance of mass at the L4/L5 points of the planet-star orbit. No companions were detected above 2\\sigma confidence. The median 2\\sigma upper limit is 56 M_\\earth, and the most constraining limit is 2.8 M_\\earth for the case of GJ 436.
