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

The case of a 39-year-old highly sensitized woman who underwent second renal transplantation after being on warfarin because of a history of frequent thromboses of her left femoral arteriovenous graft (AVG) is reported here. The patient received a flow cytometric positive crossmatch kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Her posttransplant course was complicated by prolonged delayed graft function (DGF) lasting for 9 months. Antibody-mediated rejection occurred in the immediate postoperative period. This resolved after treatment, and resolution was confirmed by repeat biopsy. Despite this, she had persistent DGF and remained dialysis dependent. A computed tomography scan due to the development of perinephric hematoma after posttransplant biopsy demonstrated venous collateralization around the allograft. At 7 months posttransplant, a venogram during declotting of AVG revealed chronic thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC) above the level of native renal veins with a venous gradient of 26 mmHg. After declotting of the graft, iliac venoplasty, and subsequent IVC stent, her renal function continues to improve with a most recent creatinine of 1.4 mg/dL at 36 months posttransplant. Venous hypertension secondary to IVC thrombosis in presence of patent femoral AVG should be considered as a rare cause of prolonged DGF.
