Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05697458 (Evaluation and Prognostic Value of Iliac Arterial Calcifications Determined With Computerized Tomography and Bone Remodeling Biomarkers in Patients With Kidney Transplantation), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

While the association of vascular calcification with inferior patient outcomes in kidney transplant recipients is well-established, the association with graft outcomes has received less attention. With this dual-centre cohort study, we aimed to determine the clinical impact of recipient pre-transplant aorto-iliac calcification, measured on non-contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT)-imaging within three years prior to transplantation (2005-2018). We included 547 patients (61.4% male, age 60 (interquartile range 51-68) years), with a median follow-up of 3.1 (1.4-5.2) years after transplantation. The aorto-iliac calcification score (CaScore) was inversely associated with one-year estimated-glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in univariate linear regression analysis (standard β -3.3 (95% CI -5.1 to -1.5,
