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

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a disease that is not widely known among the general public, but has a high prevalence among organ transplant recipients. Here, we present a rare case of intragraft KS after kidney transplantation. A 53-year-old woman who had been on hemodialysis due to diabetic nephropathy underwent deceased-donor kidney transplantation on December 7, 2021. Approximately 10 weeks after kidney transplantation, her creatinine level increased to 2.99 mg/dL. Upon examination, ureter kinking was confirmed between the ureter orifices and the transplanted kidney. As a result, percutaneous nephrostomy was performed, and a ureteral stent was inserted. During the procedure, bleeding occurred due to a renal artery branch injury, and embolization was performed immediately. Subsequently, kidney necrosis and uncontrolled fever developed, leading to graftectomy. Surgical findings revealed that the kidney parenchyma was necrotic as a whole, and lymphoproliferative lesions had formed diffusely around the iliac artery. These lesions were removed during graftectomy, and a histological examination was performed. The kidney graft and lymphoproliferative lesions were diagnosed as KS based on a histological examination. We report a rare case in which a recipient developed KS in the kidney allograft as well as in adjacent lymph nodes.
