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

Background: Patency of vascular accesses (VA) is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR). This level of VA flow (VAF) as related to LVH was assessed and an upward level of VA flow recommended for VA closure determined. This recommendation has not been previously reported. Methods: 123 KTR cohort patients were enrolled between August 2016 and December 2017 and their LVH and LV mass index (LVMI) by echocardiography and VAF by Doppler ultrasound were evaluated at baseline and for a 24-month follow-up period. Associations between VAF and LVH were adjusted for other factors. Results: Patients with patent VA (55.3%) had significantly greater LVH (47.1 vs. 29.1%, an adjusted odds ratio 2.44, p = 0.03) and LVMI (112.15 ± 34.4 vs. 97.55 ± 23.55 g/m Conclusions: Patency of VA in post-KT patients was associated with LVH. There was a significant reduction of LMVI after loss of VA patency. Patients with stable kidney graft function should be considered for VA closure especially if VAF is ≥ 900 ml/min.
