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

It is well recognised that kidney transplant recipients have an increased risk of cancers compared with the age and gender matched general population. Malignancy is one of the commonest causes of death among this cohort after cardiovascular disease. This increased risk is largely attributable to the effect of immunosuppression, which impairs T cell function, immunosurveillance and the immunological control of oncogenic viral infections. Cancer related mortality rates are also higher in solid organ transplant recipients compared with the general population. While early diagnosis may improve outcomes in these patients, cancer screening is debatable given the lack of randomised controlled trials in this cohort, and treatment is often challenging. This article reviews the epidemiology and risk factors for the development of malignancy in the post-transplant setting, as well as screening guidelines for specific malignancies of which patients are at particular risk.
