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

backgroundPersistent hyperparathyroidism after kidney transplantation (KT) has been reported in up to 50% of adult recipients, but pediatric data remain limited. We evaluated the prevalence, skeletal manifestations, and risk factors for persistent hyperparathyroidism in children following KT.

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 107 pediatric KT recipients (58% male; median age 10.3 years) transplanted between 2004 and 2019 were analyzed. Persistent hyperparathyroidism was defined as a median parathyroid hormone (PTH) > 65 pg/mL between 3 and 12 months post-KT. Risk factors for persistent hyperparathyroidism, post KT clinical features, and treatment status were analyzed.

resultsThirty-six patients (33.6%) had persistent hyperparathyroidism after KT. On univariable analysis, dialysis duration of 24 months or longer (

conclusionsPersistent hyperparathyroidism is relatively common in pediatric KT recipients, affecting one-third of patients by one-year post-transplant. Prolonged dialysis and pre-existing hyperphosphatemia before KT may be risk factors. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease management and routine PTH monitoring before and after transplant in children.
