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

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. While KT candidates with severe CAD often undergo revascularization, the impact of moderate, nonobstructive CAD remains unclear. In this retrospective study of KT recipients at Saint Louis University Hospital (2015-2024), we evaluated patients who underwent pre-transplant invasive coronary angiography but had no stenosis >70% and did not receive coronary revascularization before transplant. Patients were grouped by the number of coronary vessels with moderate 50% to 70% stenosis: none (0V), 1-2-vessel (1-2V), and 3-vessel (3V) disease. The primary outcome was post-KT major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, arrhythmia, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass surgery Among 174 KT patients who underwent pre-KT coronary angiography and had moderate CAD, MACE occurred in 9.4%, 14.8%, and 37.5% of the 0V, 1-2V, and 3V groups. After adjustment, 3V disease was associated with a higher risk of MACE (hazard ratio 3.30, 95% CI:1.27-8.56). Left anterior descending artery (LAD) involvement was also independently associated with MACE (P = .004).
