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

introductionFungal infections remain a major challenge affecting outcomes after kidney (KT) and liver transplantation (LT).

methodsIn this retrospective single center study, the incidence of Candida contamination in renal and hepatic graft preservation solution (PS) was evaluated. In addition, Candida associated infections in recipients and related complications were analyzed.

resultsOverall, the PS of 1248 hepatic and 1273 renal grafts were evaluated. The incidence of fungal contamination in the PS of hepatic and renal grafts was 1.2% and 0.86%, respectively. Additionally, the hepatic PS of one patient who underwent a combined liver-kidney transplant had Candida contamination.

conclusionThe results of the study suggest that PS should be evaluated for fungal growth.
