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

The mean age of patients returning to dialysis after a first kidney transplantation (KT) has increased in the past decades. We aimed to assess the association between second KT (2KT) and survival according to age at the time of return to dialysis. Data of 5334 patients registered in the French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) (mean age 56.6 ± 13.6 years) who returned to dialysis after a first KT were collected. The association of 2KT with death was assessed using a propensity score-based analysis taking into account baseline and follow-up variables. In relisted patients (3272 patients, 61.3%), retransplantation was associated with better overall survival in comparison with patients who remained in dialysis (adjusted HR 0.75 [0.63-0.89], p = .0009). The survival advantage conferred by retransplantation gradually declined with increasing age (adjusted HR 0.41 [0.24-0.70] in patients <50, HR 0.94 (0.69-1.27) in patients aged 70 or older, p for interaction 0.034 for age considered as a continuous variable). 2KT is associated with better survival as opposed to remaining on dialysis after a first kidney graft failure. Nevertheless, this survival benefit is age dependent and diminishes with increasing age. The risk/benefit ratio should be comprehensively assessed in the oldest patients when relisting is considered.
