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

BACKGROUND Despite its surgical complexity, kidney transplantation (KT) with multiple renal arteries (MRA) is comparable in performance to KT with a single renal artery (SRA). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of MRA and to investigate risk factors for graft loss in living-donor KT with MRA. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included living-donor KT recipients who underwent KT in our hospital from February 2002 to March 2023. The primary outcome was whether MRA decreased the prognosis of transplanted kidneys. The secondary outcomes were the risk factors for graft loss in KT with MRA, such as recipients' characteristic. RESULTS Out of 197 recipients, 47 (23.8%) received kidneys with MRA. In inverse probability of treatment weighting, the risk of graft loss did not increase in KT with MRA, as compared to that in KT with SRA (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.46; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68-3.14). MRA were associated with graft loss in ABO blood-incompatible KT (HR: 5.09, 95% CI: 1.75-14.7). CONCLUSIONS In ABO blood-incompatible KT, MRA can increase risk of graft loss.
