Use of Desmopressin Prior to Kidney Biopsy in Patients With High Bleeding Risk.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06622187 (Bleeding Prevention With Desmopressin for Allograft Kidney Biopsies), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
introductionTo prevent bleeding after native kidney biopsy (NKB), nephrologists often prescribe desmopressin, especially for patients with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at risk of uremia-related platelet dysfunction. However, only 1 randomized study has suggested a beneficial effect for desmopressin in patients with eGFR ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, all adult patients who underwent an NKB from April 1, 2013, to April 30, 2018, in a tertiary hospital were identified. The association between desmopressin use and bleeding complications, including hemoglobin fall, transfusion, hematoma, symptomatic hematoma, urgent radiologic study, and hypotension, was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models.
resultsA total of 413 native kidney biopsies were studied, 79% of which were performed after receiving desmopressin. Patients receiving desmopressin had worse chronic kidney disease (eGFR 28 vs. 45 ml/min per 1.73 m
conclusionPatients at higher risk of bleeding using desmopressin before kidney biopsy had bleeding complications similar to those not using desmopressin. These results highlight potential important clinical and financial benefits of desmopressin use before kidney biopsy.
