Long-term outcomes following arteriovenous fistula ligation in kidney transplant recipients.
Article in World journal of nephrology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundArteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) are the preferred mode of vascular access amongst patients with end-stage kidney disease, and many remain patent following kidney transplantation. While emerging evidence demonstrates cardiovascular benefits to AVF ligation post-transplantation, current guidelines provide no clear consensus on the management of functioning AVFs post-transplant. Additionally, the impact of AVF ligation on allograft outcomes is unclear. Therefore, clarifying the potential benefits of post-transplant AVF ligation is clinically important.
aimTo investigate the clinical impact of AVF ligation post-transplantation and compare the outcomes in kidney transplant recipients on dialysis
methodsKidney transplant recipients who had undergone AVF ligation or excision at a single center (
resultsThere were significant differences in patient characteristics between transplant recipients undergoing post-transplant AVF ligation
conclusionPost-transplant AVF ligation may improve allograft survival. However, due to significant differences between patients undergoing AVF ligation
