Pre-transplant Thymic Function Predicts Is Associated With Patient Death After Kidney Transplantation.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
Accelerated thymic involution is a main feature of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-associated immune senescence. Recent evidences suggest that ESRD-associated immune senescence is associated with adverse outcomes in dialysis patients. However, no study focused on the association between pre-transplant thymic function and patient survival after transplantation. We conducted a prospective, multicenter study to assess whether pre-transplant thymic function measured by recent thymic emigrants (RTE) may predict death after first kidney transplantation. Results were tested in a validation cohort. Nine hundred and sixty-seven incident kidney transplant recipients were included in the prospective study. Mean follow up was 5.1 + 2.9 years. Eighty two patients (8.5%) died during follow up. Lower RTE levels were associated with a higher risk of death (2.53; 95%CI, 1.54-4.39 for each decrease of 1 log in RTE;
