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

Patients undergoing kidney transplant are at risk of severe COVID-19. Our single-center retrospective analysis evaluated the outcomes of kidney transplant outpatients with COVID-19 who were managed with reduced immunosuppression and treatment with molnupiravir. Between January 2022 and May 2023, we included 93 patients (62 men, average age 56 years), serum creatinine 127 (101-153) µmol/L. Molnupiravir was administered, and immunosuppressive therapy was reduced immediately following the confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection by PCR, which was 2 (1-3) days after the onset of symptoms. Only three (3.2%) patients required hospitalization, and one patient died. Acute kidney injury was observed in two patients. During the follow-up period of 19 (15-22) months, there was no significant increase in proteinuria, no acute or new chronic graft rejection, and kidney graft function remained stable; serum creatinine was 124 (106-159) µmol/L post-COVID-19 infection and 128 (101-161) µmol/L at the end of the follow-up period. Our results demonstrate that early initiation of molnupiravir treatment combined with a temporary reduction in immunosuppressive therapy results in favorable clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19, with preservation of good graft function and no episodes of graft rejection.
