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

backgroundCardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of kidney transplantation on the cardiovascular status in ESRD patients.

methodsDuring 2012 to 2014 and in a cross-sectional study, 181 patients were randomly selected for this study. All patients were followed for periods of 6 and 12 months after kidney transplantation. The patients with ESRD and kidney transplant recipients; the patients with left ventricle ejection fraction<50%, left ventricular hypertrophy, mitral valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve regurgitation were included to study and the patients with kidney transplant rejection, myocardial infarction, high blood pressure with treatment-resistant, high blood pressure and addicted patients were censored.

resultsone hundred and eighty-one patients had the mean age of 38.52 (range, 16-69 years) that 54.7% were men and the mean duration of dialysis was 3.74 years. There were significant differences after 6 and 12 months compared with before and also 6 months compared with 12 months from kidney transplantation for all echocardiographic findings. The echocardiographic findings improved after 12 months compared with 6 months and also these times compared with before kidney transplantation.

conclusionsThe results of this study appeared that kidney transplantation had a positive effect on the cardiovascular status of patients with ESRD and improved the cardiac function of these patients.
