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

Introduction: Organ transplantation is limited by the supply of transplantable organs, and the supply of organs cannot meet the needs of patients on the waiting list. Ensuring transplantation of any procured organ is therefore mandatory. Organ injury, mostly to the organ's vasculature, can occur during multi-organ procurement, preventing subsequent transplantation. In such a context, vascular reconstructions of arterial or venous organ injuries can be useful. Report: This report describes the case of an obese 64 year old female with a history of diabetic nephropathy who underwent a cadaveric kidney transplant (right kidney with one main renal artery, one inferior polar artery, one vein, and one ureter). The Discussion: This case report highlights the possibility of overcoming an injured kidney graft artery by creating a tubular vena cava conduit in order to allow subsequent transplantation. Vascular reconstructions of organs injured during procurement should be considered.
