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

The impact of HLA mismatch and induction therapy in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation on outcomes remains incompletely defined. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1705 SPK recipients transplanted in the UK between 2007 and 2019. Using national transplant registry data, we analysed the impact of locus-specific HLA mismatch and induction therapy (Alemtuzumab vs. Basiliximab) on pancreas graft survival primarily. Kidney graft and patient survival were also analysed as secondary outcomes. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were adjusted for donor, recipient, and transplant variables. Pancreas graft survival at 1- and 10-year post-transplant was estimated to be 88.6% and 72.7%, respectively. Kidney graft and patient survival at 10 years were 76.7% and 75.3%. In adjusted analyses, donor age, cold ischaemic time, and HLA-DQ mismatch were significantly associated with pancreas graft loss. No significant survival difference was seen between Alemtuzumab and Basiliximab induction therapy. Induction therapy and HLA-mismatch status were not associated with pancreas graft outcome in this large registry study.
