Risk of Ipsilateral Deep Vein Thrombosis After Kidney Transplantation: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo investigate the incidence and characteristics of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in kidney transplantation recipients and analyze whether the anatomical side of DVT was associated with the side of the transplanted organ.
methodsA single-center retrospective medical record review of patients who received a kidney transplant between January 2004 and July 2019 and who subsequently developed DVT. Only patients who received unilateral kidney transplants were included in the study. Patients who underwent concomitant pancreatic transplants, bilateral kidney transplants, or repeat procedures were excluded.
resultsOf the 2449 kidney transplants performed during the study period, 1482 were included in the analysis (948 men [64%]; mean age 61 years). Of 606 duplex ultrasound tests, 115 results confirmed the presence of DVT. The incidence of symptomatic DVT was 4.7%. The most common time of DVT diagnosis was within four weeks after transplantation. Type 2 diabetes, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, sepsis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/abnormal pulmonary function, and being confined to bed were associated with DVT after kidney transplant (all
conclusionsThe incidence of DVT after kidney transplant was lower than the incidence reported in the literature. Being confined to a bed may be a risk factor for DVT after transplant surgery. Kidney transplant recipients who had a positive duplex ultrasound had higher Caprini risk assessment scores than transplant recipients who had negative duplex ultrasounds. There was no correlation between the side of the DVT and the side of the transplant.
