Histopathology of Allograft Nephrectomies - A Ten Year Observational Study.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. 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
Background: Though infrequent, allograft nephrectomies are performed for early and late graft loss. The study aims to analyze the histopathologic characteristics of allograft nephrectomy specimens. Materials and Methods: We conducted an observational study of 103 cases of allograft nephrectomies from 21 centers from 2013 to 2023. All the pathology slides, including hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections, masson trichrome, jones methenamine silver, PAS, GMS, AFB, and immunohistochemistry (C4d, SV40) were reviewed. Pathologic findings were analyzed based on the transplant to nephrectomy interval (0-3 months, > 3 months) and type of donor (deceased, live donor). Results: Of the total 103 cases, 77 were male. The mean age at the time of nephrectomy was 36.4 (range 5-64) years. The allografts were obtained from deceased (57) donors and live related (46) donors. Graft tenderness, oliguria/anuria, and fever were common clinical presentations. The majority (71.8%) of the nephrectomies were performed within the first 3 months of renal transplant. Renal vessel thrombosis (32.03%) was the most common pathologic finding. Infections were more common in the first 3 months after the transplant. Fungal infection had a significant association with deceased donor transplantation (p = 0.029). Conclusion: Histopathological study of allograft nephrectomy specimens aids understanding of graft loss causes. The study also provides opportunities to prevent complications and implement measures to prolong graft survival in a subsequent transplant.
