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

Background: Literature reports higher error rates in professions such as police officers and nurses during night shifts. Additionally, there is evidence of a higher rate of surgical complications and mortality rate if surgery is performed at night. Currently, kidney transplantations are performed at any time of day to minimize the cold ischemia time. Recent studies investigating the outcomes of kidney transplantation in relation to daytime have produced varying results. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from all patients who received a deceased donor kidney transplant at the University Medical Center Mannheim between January 1, 1997, and January 31, 2015. All recipients were followed for 2.5 y after the last kidney transplant. Daytime was divided into 2 categories: day (from 8 am to 7:59 pm) and night (from 8 pm to 7:59 am). Four operation intervals were defined on the basis of incision and suturing time (day/day, day/night, night/night, and night/day). Endpoints of primary interest were surgical complications, delayed onset of renal function requiring renal replacement therapy, transplant failure, and death. Results: We analyzed 363 patients who underwent kidney transplantation during our study period. The incidence of surgical complications tended to be higher at night ( Conclusions: In summary, the effect of the timing of transplant surgery on long- and short-term outcomes of kidney transplantation appears to be rather minor. Hence, reducing cold ischemia time should be the primary goal to improve the outcome of kidney transplantation.
