Naples Prognostic Score for Graft Functions After Renal Transplantation: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
BACKGROUND The Naples prognostic score is a comprehensive measure of patients' inflammation and nutritional status, consisting of serum albumin, total cholesterol, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR). We compared the Naples prognostic scores of kidney transplant patients with a creatinine reduction ratio of less than 30% vs those with greater than 30%. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study on 93 patients who received kidney transplants at our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023. Naples prognostic scores were used to calculate the preoperative condition of transplant recipients. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on their creatinine reduction ratio on the second day after surgery. Group A consisted of patients with a ratio above 30%, while group B consisted of those with a ratio below 30%. RESULTS Our analysis revealed that the total cholesterol and albumin values of groups A and B showed no substantial difference. Group B had clearly more patients with Naples prognostic score 3-4 compared to the other group (P=0.032). Multivariate analysis determined that patients with Naples prognostic score 3-4 had a 3.151-fold higher likelihood of experiencing creatinine reduction below 30% (95% CI 1.209-8.215, P value 0.019). CONCLUSIONS The preoperative inflammatory and nutritional status of patients may have an impact on the functioning of grafts during the postoperative period. A high Naples prognostic score may be linked with a decrease in creatinine reduction ratio in post-transplant kidneys, which could lead to graft dysfunction.
