Report on post-transplantation cancer in southeast Asia from the Thai kidney transplantation cohort.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Post-transplantation cancer is a significant cause of mortality among kidney transplant recipients (KTR). The incidence of post-transplantation cancer varies based on geographic region and ethnicity. However, data on KTR from South East Asia, where characteristics differ from other parts of Asia, is lacking. We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a transplant center in Thailand to investigate the incidence of post-transplantation cancer and mortality rates. Factors associated with post-transplantation cancer and patient outcomes were analyzed using competing-risks regression. The study included 1156 KTR with a post-transplant follow-up duration of 5.1 (2.7-9.4) years. The age- and sex-adjusted incidence rate of post-transplant cancer was highest for urothelial cancer (6.9 per 1000 person-years), which also resulted in the highest standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of 42.5 when compared to the general population. Kidney cancer had the second-highest SIR of 24.4. Increasing age was the factor associated with an increased risk of post-transplant cancer (SHR 1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.05). Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DR mismatch was associated with a decreased risk of post-transplant cancer (SHR 0.72; 95% CI 0.52-0.98). Post-transplantation cancer was significantly associated with patient mortality (HR 3.16; 95% CI 2.21-4.52). Cancer significantly contributes to KTR mortality, and the risk profile for cancer development in Thai KTRs differs from that of Western and most Asian counterparts. Further research is essential to explore appropriate screening protocols for countries with high rates of urothelial and kidney cancer, including Thailand.
