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

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) has a major impact on health and affects more than 600,000 people in the USA. The current mainstay treatments include dialysis and kidney transplantation (KT), and patients who have received KT have a higher quality of life and a lower mortality risk than those on chronic dialysis. Therefore, KT is considered the more preferred treatment modality for patients with ESRD. However, even though KT results in a higher long-term survival rate, the use of immunosuppressants is associated with various complications, including opportunistic infections and malignancies, which may lead to a higher risk of death in the first year after transplantation. Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare complication following KT, with an incidence of 0.027% in KT recipients. We present a case of PML following immunosuppressant therapy in a patient who received KT.
