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

Benefits of solid organ transplantation in end stage organ diseases are indisputable. Malignancy is a feared complication of solid organ transplantation and is a leading cause of mortality in patients with organ transplantation. Iatrogenic immunosuppression to prevent graft rejection plays a crucial role in the cancer development in solid organ transplant recipients. Chronic exposure to immunosuppression increases the malignancy burden through deregulation of host immune defense mechanisms and unchecked proliferation of oncogenic viruses and malignancies associated with these viruses. Vigorous screening of candidates undergoing transplant evaluation for malignancies, careful assessment of donors, and vigilant monitoring of transplant recipients are necessary to prevent, detect, and manage this life-threatening complication.
