Assessing the perioperative gain of weight (Δweight) as a determinant of morbidity after kidney transplantation: a retrospective exploratory study.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Kidney transplantation (KT) is associated with a substantial risk of postoperative complications (POC) for which performant predictors are lacking. Data showed that a perioperative gain of weight (ΔWeight) was associated with higher risk of POC, but it remains unexplored in KT. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between ΔWeight and POC after KT. ΔWeight was calculated on postoperative day (POD) 2. POC were graded according to the Dindo-Clavien classification. Primary endpoint was overall POC. A total of 242 patients were included and 174 (71.9%) complications were reported. Patients showed a rapid gain of weight after KT. Mean ΔWeight was 7.83 kg (± 3.20) compared to 5.3 kg (± 3.56) in patients with and without complication, respectively (p = 0.0005). ΔWeight showed an accuracy of 0.74 for overall POC. A cut-off of 8.5 kg was determined. ΔWeight ≥ 8.5 kg was identified as an independent predictor of overall POC on multivariable analysis (OR 2.04; 95% CI 1.08-3.84; p = 0.025). ΔWeight ≥ 8.5 kg appeared as an independent predictor of POC after KT. These results stress the need to monitor weight in KT and to further investigate this surrogate with future studies assessing its clinical relevance.
