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
introductionRecent findings suggest that the four-variable Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) may be useful in predicting the likelihood of allograft failure in adult kidney transplant (KT) recipients. However, research on its application in pediatric patients is lacking. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of the four-variable KFRE for prediction of the two-year and five-year risk of allograft failure in a cohort of pediatric KT recipients.
methodsA retrospective observational study of patients undergoing KT in a tertiary pediatric nephrology unit between 2007 and 2017 was conducted. The KFRE risk scores were determined using data collected one-year post-transplantation. Discrimination and calibration properties of the four-variable KFRE were assessed through the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) and calibration plots.
resultsFifty-nine patients with a median age of 12.4 (9.1-15.7) years at KT were included. Eleven (18.6%) were living donor recipients. The median estimated glomerular filtration rate one-year post-transplantation was 62.0 (49.0-75.0) mL/min/1.73 m
conclusionThe four-variable KFRE shows promise in predicting kidney failure progression in pediatric KT recipients with a functioning allograft one-year post-transplantation. Larger-scale studies are essential to confirm its predictive accuracy and establish more definitive conclusions.
