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

backgroundCompared with neurologic determination of death (NDD) donor organs, donation after cardiac death (DCD) donor organs have traditionally been considered of inferior quality owing to warm ischemia experienced during procurement. We present, to our knowledge, the first analysis of simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplants using DCD donor organs in Canada.

methodsWe carried out a retrospective cohort study of SPK transplants from 13 DCD and 68 NDD donors performed between October 2008 and July 2016. In all patients immunosuppression was induced with thymoglobulin and continued with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone maintenance therapy.

resultsDonor and recipient characteristics of DCD and NDD groups were similar with respect to age, sex, body mass index, kidney and pancreas cold ischemia times, and donor terminal creatinine. Mean DCD graft warm ischemia time was 0.5 (range 0.4-0.7) hours. Median follow-up was 2.2 (range 0.1-6.7) years and 2.7 (range 0.3-6.3) years for the DCD and NDD groups, respectively. The DCD and NDD groups were similar with regards to recipient percent panel reactive antibody and presence of human leukocyte antigen antibodies. The groups also received similar total doses of thymoglobulin. In total 38% of patients in the DCD group experienced renal delayed graft function (DGF) compared with 10% in the NDD group (

conclusionOur results show that, apart from a higher renal DGF rate, SPK transplants with DCD donor organs have comparable outcomes to standard transplants with NDD donor organs.
