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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to investigate the impact of sex on the clinical outcomes of spousal donor kidney transplantation.

methodsWe analyzed 455 spousal donor kidney transplantation recipients and categorized them into standard or high immunological risk groups according to panel-reactive antibody ≥50% or less. There were 366 recipients in the standard-risk group and 89 recipients in the high-risk group.

resultsWhen comparing biopsy-proven allograft rejection within 1 year from kidney transplantation, husband-to-wife recipients showed significantly higher incidence than wife-to-husband recipients in the high-risk group. By contrast, there was no significant difference between wife-to-husband and husband-to-wife recipients in the standard-risk group. Allograft function recovery was better in husband-to-wife recipients than in wife-to-husband recipients in each group, while husband-to-wife recipients in the high-risk group showed a more rapid decline than other recipients. The long-term patient and allograft survival rates showed no difference between husband-to-wife recipients and wife-to-husband recipients within the same groups.

conclusionThe husband-to-wife recipients with high immunological risk showed a higher risk of biopsy-proven allograft rejection compared to wife-to-husband recipients, so careful monitoring and management may be required.
