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

Introduction: Cancer is one of the main causes of death among kidney recipients. The risk of cancer in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is 2-3 times higher as compared to the general population. Aim: Retrospective assessment of the occurrence of cancer in the population of KTRs - based on data from two transplant centers. Material: The study included a total of 246 KTRs, transplanted between 1980 and 2021, who were diagnosed with malignancy (the study did not include patients whose only cancer was non-melanoma skin cancer; NMSC). Results: 261 malignant tumors were diagnosed in 246 KTRs, 3 tumor was a recurrence, and the rest occurred Conclusions: Similarly to the general population, the most common cancers among KTRs included breast and prostate cancer, as well as colorectal and lung cancer. Attention should be paid to the extremely frequent occurrence of native kidney and lymphatic system cancers in this group of KTRs. The frequent occurrence of cancer in KTRs requires systematic screening in this population.
