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

Renal biopsy (RBx) informs about kidney transplantation (KTx) prognosis. In our observational study the prevalence of histological anomalies and the prognostic role of CD45, vimentin (VIM) and periostin (POSTN) in KTx-RBx have been evaluated. One hundred forty-six KTx-RBx (2009-2012) were analysed for general histology and in immunohistochemistry for CD45, VIM and POSTN. Clinical data of the 146-KTx patients were collected at the RBx time (T0), 6 and 12 months before and after RBx. Follow-up time was 21 ± 14 months. Glomerulosclerosis was 20% glomeruli/biopsy. Tubular atrophy (TA), Interstitial infiltrate (I-Inf) and interstitial fibrosis (IF) were slight in 21-18% and 25%, moderate in 22-30% and 26% and severe in 30-18% and 28% of patients. Fifty-eight percent of patients had lesions compatible with IF-TA. CD45, VIM and POSTN correlated to each-other and to TA, I-Inf and IF. VIM and POSTN correlated to GS. CD45 and VIM correlated directly to renal function (RF) and 25(OH)VitD, while POSTN inversely to 25(OH)VitD. Thirty patients restarted dialysis (HD+). HD+ had lower T0-eGFR, and higher CD45, VIM and POSTN than HD-. POSTN resulted the strongest in discriminate for HD+ . CD45, VIM and POSTN correlate to each-other and predict graft outcome. POSTN was the strongest in discriminate for HD+. 25(OH)VitD might influence inflammation and fibrosis in KTx.
