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

backgroundChronic refractory hypotension (IDH, intradialytic hypotension) is a rare but serious problem encountered in patients on hemodialysis. Patients with chronic hypotension are often disqualified by transplant teams from renal transplantation. This is due to the possibility of an enormous risk of ischemic complications. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a 44-year old female patient with severe refractory hypotension (mean BP 60/30 mmHg, the lowest 48/28 mmHg), which appeared after bilateral laparoscopic nephrectomy of the infected kidneys. The kidney transplantation from a deceased donor, with infusion of the two pressor amines (dopamine, dobutamine) was performed without technical complications and the blood pressure measurements were 100-120/70-80 mmHg. The immunosuppression regimen was tacrolimus (TAC) + mycophenolate mophetil (MMF) and steroids (GS). Pressor amines were discontinued on the 18th day after the transplantation. Because of delayed graft function, 4 hemodialysis treatments were performed. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 22nd day with good function of the transplanted kidney (the concentration of serum creatinine 117 μmol/l). During one-year follow-up, the patient has been remaining stable with a very good graft function (serum creatinine 84 μmol/l) and normal blood pressure (115/70 mmHg).

conclusionsProper preparation and adequate perioperative treatment allowed for safely performing kidney transplantation in the patient with severe IDH.
