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

introductionImmunosuppressive therapy is associated with an increased risk of severe courses of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with frequently delayed viral clearance. We report a case of an acute kidney transplant failure in persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection in a patient with absolute B-cell depletion after administration of rituximab for AB0-incompatible living donor kidney transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old unvaccinated patient is diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection four months after kidney transplantation. With only mild symptoms and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 44 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionLack of viral clearance can lead to complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection with atypical manifestations. In kidney transplant patients, before initiating therapy, the differential diagnoses of "rejection" and "virus infection" should be weighed against each other in an interdisciplinary team of nephrologists, infectious diseases specialists and pathologists.
