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

objectivesUnplanned readmissions severely affect a patient's physical and mental well-being after kidney transplantation (KT), which is also independently associated with morbidity. A retrospective study was conducted to identify the incidence, causes and risk factors for unplanned readmission after KT among Chinese patients.

methodsPatients who underwent KT were admitted to the organ transplant center of the Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (2017-2018). Medical records for these patients were obtained through the hospital information system (HIS).

resultsIn 518 patients, the incidence of unplanned readmissions within 30 days (

conclusionUnplanned readmission rates increased with time after KT. Certain risk factors related to unplanned readmissions should be deeply excavated. Targeted interventions for controllable factors to alleviate the rate of unplanned readmissions should be identified.
