Antihypertensive pharmacotherapy and long-term outcomes in pediatric kidney transplantation.
Article in Clinical transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Hypertension (HTN) is common in pediatric recipients following kidney transplantation (KT). We retrospectively assessed the impact of HTN on long-term (>10-yr) outcomes in pediatric KT recipients (aged < 18 yr) at our center. Two hundred and ninety-three pediatric KT recipients (83% living donor [LD]) with graft survival (GS) for ≥5 yr were studied. HTN was defined by antihypertensive medication use at five yr post-KT. One hundred and sixty (55%) recipients did not have HTN, and 133 (45%) had HTN at five yr post-KT. There were no differences in actuarial patient survival between cohorts. Actuarial GS at 15 and 20 yr was 68% and 53% for recipients without HTN, and 53% and 33% for recipients with HTN (p = 0.006). Among LD recipients using one antihypertensive, GS at 15 yr was 100% for those using an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and 44% for those not using an ACEI (p = 0.04). Among these recipients, HTN treated with no ACEI was a significant risk factor for graft failure at >5 yr (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.5, p = 0.02), but HTN treated with an ACEI was not (HR = 0.6, p = 0.7). HTN at five yr post-KT is associated with poorer long-term GS in pediatric recipients, but ACEI therapy may enable better outcomes and should be studied further.
