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

Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) remain vulnerable to infectious complications and malignancies due to chronic immunosuppression, both of which may contribute to allograft dysfunction and adverse clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of viral infections and post-transplant malignancies among hospitalized KTRs and to identify factors associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic graft dysfunction. We conducted a prospective observational study including 215 adult KTRs admitted to a tertiary transplant center over a one-year period. Clinical data, malignancy history, and viral detection for BK polyomavirus (BKV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and parvovirus B19 were analyzed. AKI occurred in 65.6% of patients, while chronic graft dysfunction was present in 21.4%. Viral positivity was detected in 16.7% of the cohort, most frequently BKV and CMV. Infectious etiologies represented the most common cause of AKI. Viral positivity was significantly associated with infectious mechanisms of AKI and was independently associated with AKI in multivariable analysis (adjusted OR 3.01,
