Significant increase in 1-year posttransplant renal arterial index predicts graft loss.
Article in Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesConflicting data have been reported concerning the use of kidney graft arterial resistance index (RI) measured by Doppler to predict death-censored graft loss. We hypothesized that changes in RI values could carry better information than a single measure of RI. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: Four hundred twenty-five renal transplant recipients were included in the study. We tested whether changes in renal arterial resistance index between 4 and 12 months after transplant (ΔRI(4→12)) were predictive of graft loss.
resultsNeither 4-month nor 1-year RI predicted graft loss. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of ΔRI(4→12) for graft loss was 0.75. A ΔRI(4→12) ≥10% had the best sensitivity and specificity. One year after transplant, 22% of the study population had ΔRI(4→12) ≥10%. Fifty-five patients (12.9%) experienced graft loss during follow-up. The annual incidence of graft loss was higher in patients with ΔRI(4→12) ≥10% (3.5 versus 1.3%; P = 0.009). In multivariate analysis, patients with ΔRI(4→12) ≥10% had an increased risk of graft loss (hazard ratio, 6.21; 95% confidence interval, 1.99 to 22.15; P = 0.002).
conclusionsA variation in RI ≥10% in the first year after transplant is an independent risk factor for death-censored graft loss in renal transplant recipients.
