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

objectivesPre-transplant echocardiography is routinely performed in kidney transplant candidates, although it remains unclear which parameters are associated with the broad spectrum of post-transplant complications beyond cardiovascular events. Left atrial volume index (LAVI) reflects chronic diastolic burden, and its relationship with overall post-transplant morbidity has not been well defined. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn a single-center retrospective cohort of 242 adults undergoing first kidney-only transplantation (2020 to 2022) with pre-transplant echocardiography within 12 months, the main outcome was a composite of one-year post-transplant complications. Multivariable logistic regression was adjusted for age, sex, BMI, diabetes, and deceased donor status.

resultsLAVI was abnormal (>34 mL/m

conclusionsPre-transplant LAVI >34 mL/m
