Does Enteric Conversion Affect Graft Survival After Pancreas Transplantation with Bladder Drainage?
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND Although bladder drainage is effective for monitoring urine amylase levels to detect graft rejection, enteric drainage is performed more frequently. The optimal method for monitoring pancreatic enzyme secretions remains unclear. We investigated graft survival in recipients of bladder drainage and assessed the risk of graft rejection and failure after enteric conversion. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 1999 to October 2015, we performed 318 pancreas transplantations at our institution. We enrolled 180 recipients who underwent pancreas transplantation with bladder drainage (82 underwent enteric conversion and the rest did not). RESULTS The mean interval between pancreas transplantation and enteric conversion was 20±24 months. The graft survival rate was significantly higher in the enteric conversion group for 10 years after pancreas transplantation than in the maintain bladder drainage group. After enteric conversion, 14 recipients lost graft function. The interval between enteric conversion and graft failure was 43±26 months. In the enteric conversion group, immediate postoperative thromboembolectomy (HR=12.729, p=0.000), renal failure (HR=5.710, p=0.005), pancreas graft rejection after EC (HR=19.006, p=0.000), and delayed graft function (HR=7.021, p=0.001) had a significant relationship with graft failure. CONCLUSIONS Enteric conversion can be safe and effective for improving short- and long-term graft survival if performed after approximately 9 months. Caution should be exercised with enteric conversion if recipients have a history of thromboembolectomy, delayed graft function, or renal failure.
