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 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created an unprecedented challenge for healthcare, and the world continues to struggle in recovering from its aftermath. COVID-19 has been clearly linked to hypercoagulable states and can lead to end-organ ischemia, morbidity, and mortality. Immunosuppressed solid organ transplant recipients represent a highly vulnerable population for the increased risk of complications and mortality. Early venous or arterial thrombosis with acute graft loss after whole pancreas transplantation is well-described, but late thrombosis is rare. We herein report a case of acute, late pancreas graft thrombosis at 13 years post pancreas-after-kidney (PAK) transplantation coinciding with an acute COVID-19 infection in a previously double-vaccinated recipient.
