Endovascular iliac preparation for renal transplant using Viabahn stenting.

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
Severe iliac calcifications may preclude standard renal transplantation (RT) because of hostile vascular access. We report a technique of iliac endovascular preparation using Viabahn stent-grafts (W. L. Gore & Associates) as arterial landing zones for RT in five high-risk patients. Endoclamping and arteriotomy and prosthotomy enabled direct anastomosis through the stent and artery. All grafts remained patent with no vascular complications or stenosis. This minimally invasive strategy avoids major bypass surgery and facilitates RT in patients previously considered ineligible. Although early outcomes are encouraging, strict patient selection and experienced surgical teams are essential. Larger studies are needed to validate long-term efficacy and safety.
