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

Background: Individualizing induction therapy based on immunological risk is crucial for optimizing outcomes in kidney transplantation. Methods: A retrospective analysis included 157 first live-donor non-sensitized kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Within this cohort, 96 individuals exhibited low human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching (5-6 HLA mismatches). The low HLA match subgroup was categorized into 52 KTRs receiving basiliximab alone and 44 recipients treated with a combined single ATG dose of 1.5 mg/kg and basiliximab. The primary endpoint was early acute cellular rejection (ACR) within 6 months post-transplant while secondary outcomes encompassed infection rates, renal allograft function, length of stay (LOS) and readmissions post-transplant. Results: The incidence of early ACR was decreased for low HLA match KTRs, who received ATG-basiliximab, when compared with low HLA-matched KTRs who received basiliximab alone (9.1% vs 23.9%, Conclusion: In non-sensitized first live-donor KTRs with low HLA matching, a dual ATG-basiliximab induction approach significantly reduced early ACR without compromising safety.
