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

backgroundWith the rising demands for pancreas transplantation, surgeons are trying to extend the donors pool and set up a more appropriate assessment system. We aim to evaluate the effect of donor hypertension on recipient overall and graft survival rates.

methodsTwenty-four thousand one hundred ninety-two pancreas transplantation patients from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients database were subdivided into hypertension group (HTN, n = 1531) and non-hypertension group (non-HTN, n = 22,661) according to the hypertension status of donors. Recipient overall and graft survival were analyzed and compared by log rank test, and hazard ratios of predictors were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models.

resultsPatient overall and graft survival of non-HTN group were higher than that of the HTN group (both p < 0.001). The duration of hypertension negatively influenced both overall and graft survival rates (both p < 0.001). Multivariate analyses demonstrated that hypertension was an independent factor for reduced survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.18; p < 0.001). Other independent factors included recipient body mass index (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.05; p < 0.001) and transplant type (pancreas after kidney transplants / pancreas transplant alone vs. simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants; HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 134-1.55; p < 0.001).

conclusionsDonor hypertension is an independent factor for recipient survival after pancreas transplantation and could be considered in donor selection as well as post-transplant surveillance in clinical practice.
