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

This review summarizes the latest insights on ABO-incompatible living-donor renal transplantation. Desensitization protocols and clinical outcomes were investigated, and a comparison was made with kidney-paired donation, which is not permitted in Japan for ethical reasons. Although renal transplantation is greatly beneficial for most patients with end-stage kidney disease, many of these patients must remain on dialysis therapy for extended periods due to the scarcity of organs from deceased donors. ABO blood type incompatibility was once believed to be a contraindication to renal transplantation due to the increased risk for antibody-mediated rejection and early graft loss attributable to isoagglutinins. Recently, pretransplant desensitization strategies, such as removal of isoagglutinins and antibody-producing cells, have achieved successful outcomes, although it remains unclear whether graft survival and patient morbidity are equivalent to those for ABO-compatible renal transplantation. The present review suggested that ABO-incompatible living-donor renal transplantation might be a favorable radical renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease.
