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

backgroundA 3-year-old girl with clinical features of atypical HUS (complement Factor I mutation inherited from an asymptomatic mother and Factor H autoantibodies) was treated with plasma exchange, progressed to kidney failure (KF) aged 4 years, and received an en bloc kidney DCD transplant aged 8 years with primary graft non-function necessitating transplant nephrectomy at the time of transplantation. She subsequently underwent re-transplantation from her father. This is a retrospective study of electronic patient records and medical notes. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: A 9-year-old girl received an ABO-incompatible (ABOi) living-related kidney transplant from her father with recipient and donor blood groups of O and A, respectively, with baseline recipient anti-A titers 1:128 reducing to 1:4 at the time of transplant with B lymphocyte depletion with rituximab and four sessions of immunoadsorption. Six hours post-transplant, she had recurrence of aHUS and received the first dose of eculizumab. She continues on monthly home eculizumab infusions with stable kidney allograft function and negative anti-A titers 7 years post-kidney transplantation.

conclusionsThis is the first report of a pediatric high-risk ABOi living-related kidney transplantation in whom early relapse of aHUS was successfully treated with eculizumab with good long-term patient and allograft outcome.
