Surgical complications risk in obese and overweight recipients for kidney transplantation: a predictive morphometric model based on sarcopenia and vessel-to-skin distance.
Article in World journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeSarcopenia or adipose tissue distribution within obese and overweight renal transplanted have been poorly evaluated. Our objective was to evaluate morphometric markers to predict surgical complications in kidney transplantation.
methodsWe retrospectively included patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m
results248 patients were included, 15 (6%) experienced transplant nephrectomy, 18 (7.3%) urinary leakage, and 29 (11.7%) subcapsular renal hematoma. Multivariable logistic regression evidenced that sarcopenia and VSK were risk factors of surgical complication within a year post-transplantation (respectively, OR = 0.9, 95%CI (0.8-0.9), p = 0.04 and OR = 1.2, 95%CI (1.1-1.3), p = 0.002). Area under the curve for a predictive model including VSK, age and psoas surface was 0.69, whereas BMI model was 0.65.
conclusionCombined morphometric parameters of obesity were associated with surgical complications in kidney transplantation. Morphometric threshold may provide a more accurate and objective criteria than BMI to evaluate kidney transplantation outcomes. External validation is needed.
