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

backgroundThe number of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from diabetic nephropathy (DN) and with cardiovascular disease (CVD) history has increased worldwide. Nevertheless, epidemiologic evidence of CVD in KTRs remains limited.

methodsWe investigated post-transplant CVD in 1614 adult KTRs between 1990 and 2014. CVD was defined according to the international classification of diseases (ICD-10). All-cause mortality was also investigated. Final follow-up was performed in March 2016. The KTRs were categorized into four groups according to DN and CVD at surgery.

resultsDuring the follow-up period, 309 KTRs experienced CVDs and 124 KTRs died. The 15-year cumulative CVDs rate was 87% in KTRs with both DN and CVD history, and the rate in KTRs without those was 22.3%. DN and CVD were associated with increased risk of post-transplant CVD [hazard ratio (HR), 3.44; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.03-5.82; P < 0.001], and the impact marked increased after 7.5 years follow-up period (HR, 16.56; 95% CI, 6.56-41.8; P < 0.001). DN and CVD in KTRs were associated with mortality (HR, 3.32; 95% CI, 1.34-8.22; P = 0.009), and post-transplant CVD was the leading cause (35.5%) of overall death. However, DN and CVD were not associated with increased graft failure rate.

conclusionsThe risk of post-transplant CVDs incidence in KTRs with DN and CVD history is high, and it increases during the late transplant period. Appropriate routine cardiovascular screening and evaluation are needed to reduce late-onset CVD incidence.
