Post-transplant Diabetes Mellitus in Kidney Transplant Recipients in Sudan: A Comparison Between Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine-Based Immunosuppression.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia is a common complication among transplant patients without a history of diabetes mellitus (DM). Although new and potent immunosuppressants have improved short and long-term outcomes after transplantation, these drugs themselves may be associated with a greater risk of hyperglycemia. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in post renal transplant patients in Sudan, and compare the effect of cyclosporine and tacrolimus-based immunosuppressive regimens. All adult kidney transplant recipients without pre-transplant diabetes who attended the transplant clinic at Ahmed Gasim Cardiac Surgery and Renal Transplant Center in Sudan were included. A total of 100 cases with functioning kidney allografts were enrolled in this study. The majority of cases were in the age range between 20 and 60 years (92%). Males and females were nearly equally distributed (56% vs 44%). Fifty-two percent of patients were on cyclosporine and 48% on tacrolimus. Overall, 18% of patients suffered from post-transplant diabetes mellitus. There was no statistically significant difference between tacrolimus and cyclosporine with regards to the prevalence of hyperglycemia (16.6% versus 13.4%; p>0.05).
