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

Advances in immunosuppressive therapy; posttransplant management of allograft rejection; and measures against infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and malignancy dramatically improved graft and patient survival after kidney transplantation (KT). Among them, kidney allograft biopsy is an important tool and the gold standard for the diagnosis of various kidney allograft injuries, including allograft rejection, virus-induced nephropathy, calcineurin inhibitor toxicity, and posttransplant glomerular diseases. The Banff Conference on Allograft Pathology has contributed to establishing the diagnostic criteria for kidney allograft rejection and polyomavirus-associated nephropathy that are used as a common standard worldwide. In addition to the for-cause biopsy, many transplant centers perform protocol biopsies in the early and late posttransplant periods to detect and treat allograft injury earlier. Preimplantation biopsy in deceased-donor KT has also been performed, especially in the marginal donor, and attempts have been made to predict the prognosis in combination with clinical information and the renal resistance of hypothermic machine perfusion. Regarding the preimplantation biopsy from a living kidney donor, it can provide useful information on aging and/or early changes in lifestyle diseases, such as glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial changes, and arterial and arteriolar sclerosis, and be used as a reference for the subsequent management of living donors. In this review, morphologic features of important kidney allograft pathology, such as allograft rejection and polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, according to the latest Banff classification and additional information derived from protocol biopsy, and future perspectives with recently developed technologies are discussed.
