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
introductionKidney transplantation (KT) is the standard of care for children with end-stage kidney disease. When the donor's kidney is right-sided, the graft can be placed ipsilaterally using an inverted kidney allograft (IKA) technique, facilitating the anastomosis of a shorter renal vein and renal hilum spatial orientation with anterior positioning of the urinary tract. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of IKA and standard anatomical position (AP) in pediatric KT.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of all patients ≤18 years of age who underwent KT at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (January 2010 to December 2021). A comparative analysis of baseline demographics, urologic and vascular complications, graft survival, and one-year creatinine clearance was performed between patients with IKA and those with AP allografts.
resultsOverall, 157 KT were performed: 61 were IKA and 96 were in the AP. Median age at transplantation was nine years (range 1-18). Allografts from cadaveric donors were more frequently implanted using the IKA technique (p≤0.001). No significant difference in urologic (16.4% vs. 13.5%, p=0.79) or vascular complication rates (1.2% vs. 5.2%, p=0.47) were observed. Median one-year creatine clearance was similar between the groups (73.1 ml/min/m
conclusionsIn the largest study of its kind, we observed that the IKA technique did not increase the risk of urologic or vascular complications and yielded comparable one-year graft survival and creatine clearance. This approach appears to be feasible when the AP is not ideal.
