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

introductionIn renal transplant recipients (RTRs), kidney graft failure and cardiovascular (CV) disease are prevalent and associated with mortality.

objectivesThe objective of the study was to evaluate biomarkers, (cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)), to identify RTRs who are at greater risk of death, CV event, and graft renal survival. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 342 stable RTRs were enrolled in this study, with a median follow-up time of 54 months. The probability of death, CV event, and renal graft survival were calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis for the group defined by cTnT and NT-proBNP levels above the cutoff values.

resultsThe probability of death for troponin T level above the cut-off was 23% and for NT-proBNP 29%. For CV events the probability for troponin T was 20% and for NT-proBNP it was 21%. Troponin T concentrations above the cutoff point suggested a 25% probability of death-censored graft survival. For NT-proBNP, it was 26%. The probability of overall graft survival was 38% for patients with higher troponin T levels, and 40% for NT proBNP.

conclusionsThese data suggest that cTnT and NT-proBNP could potentially identify patients at high risk for death, CV event, and graft survival.
