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

purposeAlthough transplanting two kidneys from a single donor to two recipients has some advantages, the right and left kidneys are not anatomically identical; thus, a surgical procedure considering the anatomical features of the donor kidneys is needed when transplanting them into the opposite renal fossae. Based on vast experience, the surgical details of pig orthotopic kidney transplantation from one donor to two recipients was reported.

methodsWhen the right kidney was transplanted to the left renal fossa, the graft was inverted upside down, not backwards, thus ensuring that the anteroposterior relationship of the renal vessels was maintained and anatomically natural vascular anastomosis could be performed.

resultsUsing this technique, we could have developed a pig experimental model that is safe and has a high success rate, even for researchers in the middle of their training. This technique of inverting the graft upside down was reported in human kidney transplantation to make vascular anastomosis easier.

conclusionsIn pig orthotopic kidney transplantation from one donor to two recipients, an anatomically natural vascular anastomosis could be performed via inverted grafting when the right kidney was transplanted into the left renal fossa.
