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: Weight gain is common after kidney transplantation. This study assessed the incidence of overweight and obesity, identified the risk factors, and evaluated their impact on graft function and metabolic outcomes at 1 year. Methods: This retrospective observational study included 179 kidney transplant recipients at King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between January 2020 and December 2023. The baseline and 12-month BMI were recorded. Associations with demographic, clinical, and metabolic variables, as well as graft function and complications, were analyzed. Logistic regression identified independent predictors of being overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m Results: At baseline, 83 (46.4%) recipients had BMI < 25 kg/m Conclusion: Posttransplant overweight and obesity are common. The baseline BMI and family history of diabetes are key predictors. The higher BMI is associated with early metabolic changes and trends toward lower graft function, highlighting the need for early monitoring and targeted interventions.
