Cancer risks in people on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients: a Catalan cohort study, 2003-21.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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: People with kidney failure have a higher risk of cancer compared with age- and sex-matched individuals in the general population, yet data from southern Europe are limited. This study explores cancer incidence in the kidney failure population in Catalonia. Methods: We identified cancer cases through linkage of the Catalan Kidney Registry with Catalan cancer databases. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated for all-site and site-specific cancers in people on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. Results: We described the epidemiology of cancer in 21 595 people on dialysis and 8037 kidney transplant recipients in Catalonia (2003-21). Cancer risk was more than two times higher in people on dialysis (SIR 2.11, 95% CI 2.02-2.19) and nearly four times higher in kidney transplant recipients (SIR 3.82, 95% CI 3.65-3.99) compared with the general population. Risks varied by cancer site, with a significantly higher incidence of kidney and thyroid cancers in the dialysis cohort, and skin cancer in the transplant cohort. The highest cancer risks were observed in the youngest, those with glomerular diseases, and those with the longest time since transplantation. Conclusions: People with kidney failure face a high burden of cancer, particularly after kidney transplantation. Understanding the epidemiology of cancer in the kidney failure population is crucial for shaping health policies.
