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

backgroundDelayed graft function (DGF) is closely associated with the use of marginal donated kidneys due to deficits during transplantation and in recipients. We aimed to predict the incidence of DGF and evaluate its effect on graft survival.

methodsThis retrospective study on kidney transplantation was conducted from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019, at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. We classified recipients whose operations were performed in different years into training and validation cohorts and used data from the training cohort to analyze predictors of DGF. A nomogram was then constructed to predict the likelihood of DGF based on these predictors.

resultsThe incidence rate of DGF was 16.92%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed correlations between the incidence of DGF and cold ischemic time (CIT), warm ischemic time (WIT), terminal serum creatine (Scr) concentration, duration of pretransplant dialysis, primary cause of donor death, and usage of LifePort. The internal accuracy of the nomogram was 83.12%. One-year graft survival rates were 93.59 and 99.74%, respectively, for the groups with and without DGF (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe nomogram established in this study showed good accuracy in predicting DGF after deceased donor kidney transplantation; additionally, DGF decreased one-year graft survival.
