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

purposeAccurate assessment of kidney function is essential for post-kidney transplant management. This study aims to develop a new equation tailored to Vietnamese kidney transplant recipients and validate its performance against established equations.

methodsA total of 299 kidney transplant recipients underwent glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement using technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetate renal dynamic scintigraphy, along with demographic, clinical, and laboratory assessments. Participants were divided into a development cohort (n = 150) to generate a new GFR-estimating equation and a validation cohort (n = 149) for internal validation against six equations.

resultsThe new equation,

conclusionThe new equation outperformed established equations and is recommended for Vietnamese kidney transplant recipients. The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation may serve as an alternative in centers lacking access to serum cystatin C. Further studies with larger cohorts, external validation, and comparisons with gold-standard GFR measurement methods are needed to confirm these results.
