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

Introduction Immediately after kidney donation, the remaining kidney will undergo hyperfiltration and work at a higher level to compensate for the other kidney's loss. It is estimated that 70% of the baseline renal function before the donation is recovered post-donation. However, factors that determine the post-donation renal compensation are not well understood. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 190 consecutive kidney donors who completed a one-year follow-up in order to predict the factors affecting the function of the remaining kidney post-contralateral nephrectomy. Results We enrolled 190 living kidney donors who had completed at least one year of follow-up after nephrectomy. Among the participants, 149 (78.4%) were males and 41 (21.6%) were females. The mean age of the participants was 31.33 ±7.9 years and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 25.6 ±3.9 kg/m
