Comparison of Pulmonary Artery Pressure before and after Kidney Transplantation in Kidney Transplant Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2022. 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
backgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common finding i n c hronic k idney d isease (CKD) and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The effect of kidney transplantation on PH is not yet well evaluated. This study aimed to compare pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) before and after kidney transplantation in CKD patients.
methodThis longitudinal study was conducted on 33 CKD patients who were candidates for kidney transplantation in a tertiary hospital in Mashhad, Iran. Pulmonary artery pressure and ejection fraction (EF) were assessed using trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE). Demographic and clinical findings, including age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), as well as laboratory assessments, including hemoglobin, serum calcium and phosphorus level, and parathyroid hormone, were recorded before transplantation. TTE assessment was repeated one year after transplantation.
resultsMean age of the study patients (17 males and 16 females) was 30.42 ± 9.71 years. The majority of patients (85%) received hemodialysis before transplantation. Compared to before transplantation,PAP significantly decreased (from 33.67 ± 6.78 to 26.06 ± 5.78 mmHg, P<0.001) and EF increased (from 52.85 ± 7.12 to 57.03 ± 4.08, P=0.003) one year after transplantation. A significant positive correlation was found between PAP difference and EF before transplantation.
conclusionsThe findings of this study showed that kidney transplantation was correlated with improved PAP and EF one year after transplantation and EF before kidney transplantation was correlated with PAP changes.
