Incidental lymphadenopathy in renal transplantation.
Article in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionIliac lymphadenectomy is performed to provide anastomotic access during the vascular implantation procedure in renal transplantation. Iliac lymph nodes (LNs) are often enlarged, but there are no standardised guidelines for the management of incidentally enlarged LNs during transplantation. We aimed to evaluate histological findings of LNs sent for examination at our unit.
methodsPatients were evaluated in two distinct date cycles. In the first cycle, lymphadenectomy and histological assessment were performed at the discretion of the transplanting surgeon. In the second cycle, all incidentally enlarged LNs were sent for histological assessment, regardless of size.
resultsIn the first cycle ( DISCUSSION: There are currently no published guidelines on the management of incidentally enlarged iliac LNs during transplantation. Current literature suggests that clinically significant lymphadenopathy needs to be investigated in all patients. Based on our centre's experience of a 5.26% (1 in 19) positive pathological LN sampling, we recommend that all incidental LNs with suspicious features and/or that are greater than 10mm in diameter should be considered for histological, microbiological and molecular assessment as appropriate.
