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

Thromboembolic and atherosclerotic disorders, necessitating antithrombotic therapies, are prevalent among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. However, the optimal management of antithrombotic therapies in these patients remains uncertain due to conflicting evidence and the exclusion of advanced CKD and KT recipients from major randomized controlled trials. Additionally, the perioperative management of antithrombotic therapy in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing transplantation requires specific attention. This clinical practice document prepared by experts from the DESCaRTES Working Group of the European Renal Association (ERA) and European Kidney Transplant Association (EKITA) from European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) following European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) guidelines is designed to support clinicians in decision making on antithrombotic therapies in KT candidates and recipients. Following a detailed systematic literature review, it presents current knowledge in epidemiology and pathophysiology and summarizes all relevant studies in this topic.
