Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation Versus Living Donor Kidney Transplantation Alone: an Outcome-Driven Choice?
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewThe choice of optimum transplant in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and chronic kidney disease stage V (CKD V) is not clear. The purpose of this review was to investigate this in more detail-in particular the choice between a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) and living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), including recent evidence, to aid clinicians and their patients in making an informed choice in their care. RECENT
findingsAnalyses of large databases have recently shown SPKT to have better survival rates than a LDKT in the long-term, despite an early increase in morbidity and mortality in SPKT recipients. This survival advantage has only been shown in those SPKT recipients with a functioning pancreas and not those who had early pancreas graft loss. The choice of SPKT or LDKT should not be based on patient and graft survival outcomes alone. Individual patient circumstances, preferences, and comorbidities, among other factors should form an important part of the decision-making process. In general, an SPKT should be considered in those patients not on dialysis and LDKT in those nearing or already on dialysis.
