Association between the "Timed Up and Go Test" at transplant evaluation and outcomes after kidney transplantation.
Trial report in Clinical transplantation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundStudies have demonstrated the Timed Up and Go Test's (TUGT) ability to forecast postoperative outcomes for several surgical specialties. Evaluations of the TUGT for waitlist and posttransplant outcomes have yet to be examined in kidney transplantation.
objectiveTo assess the prognostic utility of the TUGT and its associations with waitlist and posttransplant outcomes for kidney transplant candidates. DESIGN AND
methodsSingle-center, prospective study of 518 patients who performed TUGT during their transplant evaluation between 9/1/2013-11/30/2014. TUGT times were evaluated as a continuous variable or 3-level discrete categorical variable with TUGT times categorized as long (>9 seconds), average (8-9 seconds), or short (5-8 seconds).
resultsTransplanted individuals had shorter TUGT times than those who remained on the waitlist (8.99 vs 9.79 seconds, P < 0.001). Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression showed that after adjusting for age, there was no association between TUGT times and probability of waitlist removal (OR 0.997 [0.814-1.221]), prolonged length of stay posttransplant (OR 1.113 [0.958-1.306] for deceased donor, OR 0.983 [0.757-1.277] for living donor), and 30-day readmissions (OR 0.984 [0.845-1.146] for deceased donor, OR 1.254 [0.976-1.613] for living donor).
conclusionsThe TUGT was not associated with waitlist removal or prolonged hospitalization for kidney transplant candidates. Alternative assessments of global health, such as functional status or frailty, should be considered for evaluation of potential kidney transplant candidates.
