Early Post-Transplant Red Blood Cell Transfusion Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Transplant Failure: A Nationwide French Study.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequently required in the early period after kidney transplantation. However, the consequences of RBC transfusions on long-term outcomes are largely unrecognized. Methods: We conducted a nationwide French cohort study involving all 31 French kidney transplant centers. Patients having received a first kidney transplant between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2008 were identified through the national registry of the French BioMedecine Agency ( Results: Among 12,559 patients included during the study period, 3,483 (28%) were transfused during the first 14 days post-transplant. Median follow-up was 7.6 (7.5-7.8) years. Multivariable analysis determined that post-transplant RBC transfusion was associated with an increased risk in transplant failure (HR 1.650, 95%CI [1.538;1.771] p<0.0001). Both sensitivity and propension score analyses confirmed the previous result. Conclusions: Early red blood cell transfusion after kidney transplantation is associated with increased transplant failure.
