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

There is growing kidney transplant program-level interest in addressing obesity. The American Society of Transplantation Kidney Pancreas Community of Practice Obesity Work Group surveyed US programs to characterize evaluation, listing, and weight management practices. A web-based survey was administered to professionals involved in kidney transplant care (transplant nephrologists/surgeons/coordinators/dietitians, endocrinologists, bariatric surgeons, and obesity medicine specialists) from May 2024 to September 2024. The 275 respondents from 113 programs represented 70.7% of the US transplant volume. A body mass index (BMI) cutoff-commonly 40 kg/m
