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

Renal artery thrombosis (RAT) is a major cause of renal transplant loss and, for this reason, should be treated promptly. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with external iliac thrombosis associated with thrombosis of a transplant renal artery that led to worsening of renal function. Multiple mechanisms have been identified in the literature as risk factors for RAT. In our patient, a combination of anastomotic stenosis, hypercoagulability, and diabetic nephropathy had resulted in RAT, and an unconventional endovascular revascularization technique with a T-stent approach was needed to guarantee patency of the treated vessels. No 30-day perioperative complications occurred, and the postoperative follow-up examination showed patency of the treated vessels; thus, transplant loss was avoided.
