Living donors kidney transplantation and oxidative stress: Nitric oxide as a predictive marker of graft function.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundGlomerular filtration rate is the best indicator of renal function and a predictor of graft and patient survival after kidney transplantation.
methodsIn a single-centre prospective analysis, we assessed the predictive performances of 4 oxidative stress biomarkers in estimating graft function at 6 months and 1 year after kidney transplantation from living donors. Blood samples were achieved on days (D-1, D1, D2, D3, D6 and D8), months (M1, M3 and M6) and after one year (1Y). For donors, a blood sample was collected on D-1. Malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), glutathione s-transferase (GST), myeloperoxydase (MPO), and creatinine (Cr) were measured by spectrophotometric essays. The estimated glomerular filtration rate by the modification of diet in renal disease equation (MDRD-eGFR) was used to assess renal function in 32 consecutive donor-recipient pairs. Pearson's and Spearman's correlations have been applied to filter out variables and covariables that can be used to build predictive models of graft function at six months and one year. The predictive performances of NO and MPO were tested by multivariable stepwise linear regression to estimate glomerular filtration rate at six months.
resultsThree models with the highest coefficients of determination stand out, combining the two variables nitric oxide at day 6 and an MDRD-eGFR variable at day 6 or MDRD-eGFR at day 21 or MDRD-eGFR at 3 months, associated for the first two models or not for the third model with donor age as a covariable (P = 0.000, r2 = 0.599, r2adj = 0.549; P = 0.000, r2 = 0.548, r2adj = 0.497; P = 0.000, r2 = 0.553, r2adj = 0.517 respectively).
conclusionQuantification of nitric oxide at day six could be useful in predicting graft function at six months in association with donor age and the estimated glomerular filtration rate in recipient at day 6, day 21 and 3 months after transplantation.
