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

introductionComplications after renal transplants are frequent. A well-known but less frequent complication is arteriovenous fistula formation, which can remain asymptomatic or present with hematuria, hypertension, or renal insufficiency. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present the case of a young, male kidney transplant recipient with newly developed hypertension due to the formation of an arteriovenous fistula a long period after the last renal biopsy. DISCUSSION: In our case, the sonographic evaluation showed the aliasing phenomenon, which was useful in the detection of the AVF. Superselective transcatheter embolization is considered to be the treatment of choice in such cases and has been proven to be safe and effective, even in long-term evaluations.

conclusionOur findings in this case highlight a rarely reported clinical presentation which physicians should be aware of when evaluating patients who have received a renal transplant.
