Risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia among renal transplant recipients in Omicron pandemic-a prospective cohort study.
Article in Virology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a global health emergency, and SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia poses significant challenges to health systems worldwide. Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are a special group and are more vulnerable to viral pneumonia. However, few studies have elucidated the risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in RTRs infected with COVID-19. This study aimed to build a risk prediction model for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia among RTRs based on demographic and clinical information.
methodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study among 383 RTRs (age ≥ 18 years) diagnosed with COVID-19 from December 21, 2022, to March 26, 2023. Patients' demographic and clinical information was collected through a questionnaire survey combined with electronic medical records. A stepwise logistic regression model was established to test the predictors of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. We assessed the diagnostic performance of the model by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration using the Hosmer-Lemeshow (HL) goodness-of-fit test.
resultsOur study showed that the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia among RTRs was 31.1%. Older age (OR = 2.08-3.37,95%CI:1.05-7.23), shorter post-transplantation duration (OR = 0.92,95% CI: 0.87,0.99), higher post-transplant Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (OR = 1.84, 95%CI: 1.14,2.98), pulmonary infection history (OR = 3.44, 95%CI: 1.459, 8.099, P = 0.005), fatigue (OR = 2.11, 95%CI: 1.14, 3.90), cough (OR = 2.03, 95%CI: 1.08, 3.81), and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at COVID-19 diagnosis (OR = 0.98, 95%CI:0.97,0.99) predicted a higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. The model showed good diagnostic performance with Chi-Square = 10.832 (P > 0.05) and AUC = 0.839 (P < 0.001).
conclusionsOur study showed a high incidence of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia among RTRs, and we built a risk prediction model for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia based on patients' demographic and clinical characteristics. The model can help identify RTRs infected with COVID-19 at high risk of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia to inform timely, targeted, and effective prevention and intervention efforts.
