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

This study is a retrospective analysis of a cohort of patients presenting with transplant renal dysfunction related to proximal aorto-iliac occlusive disease and treated with angioplasty and stenting. Primary outcomes included changes in intrarenal resistive index (RI) and laboratory and clinical data including serum creatinine level, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and number of anti-hypertensive drugs before and after endovascular intervention. Secondary outcomes included overall patient and transplant kidney survival. Endovascular intervention was successful in all 26 included patients and associated with a significant increase in intrarenal RI in the upper pole (0.65 before vs. 0.74 after stent; P = 0.0009), in the interpolar region (0.64 before vs. 0.74 after stent; P = 0.0028), and in the lower pole (0.63 before vs. 0.76 after stent; P = 0.0002). In addition, there was a significant improvement in serum creatinine (2.29 mg/dL before vs. 1.49 mg/dL 6 weeks after stent; P < 0.0001) and systolic blood pressure (149.6 mmHg before vs. 139.8 mmHg 1 week after stent; P = 0.0233). Overall estimated transplant kidney survival was 95% at 5 and 10 years of follow-up. Endovascular intervention is a very effective and durable treatment option for the management of transplant renal dysfunction related to proximal aorto-iliac occlusive disease.
