Effect of the similarity of gut microbiota composition between donor and recipient on graft function after living donor kidney transplantation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Graft outcomes of unrelated donor kidney transplant are comparable with those of related donor kidney transplant despite their genetic distance. This study aimed to identify whether the similarity of donor-recipient gut microbiota composition affects early transplant outcomes. Stool samples from 67 pairs of kidney transplant recipients and donors were collected. Gut microbiota differences between donors and recipients were determined using weighted UniFrac distance. Among the donor-recipient pairs, 30 (44.8%) pairs were related, while 37 (55.2%) were unrelated. The unrelated pairs, especially spousal pairs, had similar microbial composition, and they more frequently shared their meals than related pairs did. The weighted UniFrac distance showed an inverse correlation with the 6-month allograft function (p = 0.034); the correlation was significant in the unrelated pairs (p = 0.003). In the unrelated pairs, the microbial distance showed an excellent accuracy in predicting the estimated glomerular filtration rate of < 60 mL/min/1.73 m
