Page kidney secondary to subcapsular hematoma in renal transplant recipients: a systematic review of reported cases.

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.
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
backgroundPage kidney secondary to subcapsular hematoma (SH) is a rare but serious complication in renal transplant recipients, typically occurring in the early postoperative period. This is caused by external graft compression, which impairs perfusion and leads to acute renal dysfunction. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are essential for salvaging graft functions.
objectiveThis systematic review synthesizes available case-level evidence on Page kidney in transplant recipients, focusing on the timing of onset, clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes of Page kidney.
methodsA systematic search of the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases was conducted until May 2024. Eligible studies included case reports and case series describing Page kidneys due to SH in renal transplant recipients. Data extraction included clinical features, imaging findings, interventions, and outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist. This review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024547165; University of York, UK).
resultsTen studies involving 15 patients were included in the analysis. Most patients (13/15) developed Page kidney within the first week after transplantation, while two cases presented > 6 months after transplantation. Common features included oliguria or anuria (86.7%), elevated resistive indices (RI ≥ 0.9), and crescentic subcapsular hematomas on Doppler ultrasound. Surgical evacuation was performed in 93.3% of the cases, with favorable renal recovery in 11 patients (73.3%). Late or missed diagnoses are correlated with irreversible graft losses. The risk of bias was low in all included studies.
conclusionPage kidney in transplant recipients, although rare, requires a high index of suspicion, particularly in the early postoperative period. Doppler ultrasonography remains central to diagnosis, while surgical decompression offers the best chance of graft salvage. Early recognition is critical given the narrow therapeutic window and high stakes of delayed intervention.
