Effect of Preoperative Donor Hydration on Outcomes in Living Donor Renal Transplantation: A Prospective Randomised Study.
Article in Journal of the West African College of Surgeons. 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
Objectives: Living renal donors do not usually undergo preoperative hydration, which may cause subclinical graft renal injury. We planned a prospective randomised study to determine the effect of preoperative renal donor hydration on intraoperative graft parameters, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels, and other complications. Materials and Methods: Living donor renal transplantation pairs were randomised into two groups: Group 1 donors (controls) were fasting overnight with no hydration from 11 PM to 7 AM, while Group 2 donors were fasting with preoperative hydration (2 L of intravenous Ringer's lactate) from 11 PM to 7 AM. The primary outcome parameter was positive graft ischaemia (PGI), deemed positive when at least two were present: visible graft discolouration, renal arterial spasm, reduction in urine output before and after division of ureter, and, flaccidity of the graft. Results: The two groups were comparable in demographic, clinical parameters including graft function. PGI was present in 7/32 (22%), with no significant differences between the groups. Mean NGAL levels were lower in Group 2 without statistical significance. There was a significant correlation between PGI and proportion of functional delayed graft function (85% versus 36%; Conclusion: Preoperative donor hydration may decrease perioperative subclinical renal injury, but more studies with larger sample size are required.
