Use of Anti-interleukin-1 Agents in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Familial Mediterranean Fever and Amyloidosis: What have been learned so far?
Article in Current transplantation reports, 2025. 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
Purpose of Review: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic auto-inflammatory disease causing amyloidosis (AA type) which may result in development of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Colchicine is the initial treatment option for patients FMF/amyloidosis both before and after KT. Although, kidney transplantation (KT) can be offered to patients with ESKD due to FMF/amyloidosis, FMF attacks did not resolve in some of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and de-novo development of amyloidosis after KT may be observed despite colchicine treatment. For these patients, other treatment options are warranted including anti-interleukin-1 agents such as anakinra and canakinumab. The purpose of the review is to summarize the use of anti-interleukin-1 agents in KTRs with FMF and amyloidosis. Recent Findings: Recent studies showed that these agents are effective in KTRs in terminating FMF attacks and decreasing inflammatory parameters. Furthermore, no significant interaction with immunosuppressive drugs were recorded and side effects were few. However, there are various knowledge gaps.
