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

Reduced left ventricular (LV) function predicts poor outcomes in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to identify the pre-renal transplantation echocardiographic parameters that can predict post-renal transplantation LV failure. This prospective longitudinal study was conducted on patients with ESRD who underwent renal transplantation during 1 year. All patients underwent echocardiography, including ejection fraction (EF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), interventricular septal (IVS) thickness, peak velocity of early diastolic transmitral flow (E), peak velocity of late transmitral flow (A), early diastolic myocardial relaxation (Em), E/A, E/Em, Left atrial volume (LAV) index, tricuspid regurgitation peak gradient (TRPG), systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SPAP), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), 1 week before and 1 month after renal transplantation. Fifty patients participated in the current study. All echocardiographic parameters improved after transplantation. Post-renal transplantation LV dysfunction was observed in 21 (42%) patients. Pre-renal transplantation echocardiographic parameters (LVEDV, LVESD, LVEDD, IVS, E/Em, TRPG, SPAP, and LAV index) could predict post-transplantation LV failure with high accuracy (AUC: 0.978).
