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

purposeThis study aimed to assess the impact of kidney donation and pre-donation factors such as age and BMI, are associated with long-term outcomes like hypertension, diabetes and GFR decline. highlighting the importance of proper donor selection and long-term follow up.

methodsThis study aims to assess long-term clinical outcomes, such as the development of hypertension, diabetes, proteinuria, and changes in kidney function, in living kidney donors following nephrectomy.

resultsA cohort of 87 kidney donors from Erciyes University and a control group of 100 individuals with comparable demographics were monitored. Parameters such as blood pressure, BMI, GFR, and proteinuria levels were documented pre- and post-donation, and outcomes were compared within and between groups.

conclusionMultiple regression analysis revealed nephrectomy as an independent risk factor for increased hypertension incidence (p = 0.002) and a persistent reduction in GFR exceeding 20% (p < 0.001). Advanced age at donation and post-donation BMI were associated with elevated risks of hypertension and diabetes.
