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

objectivesto verify the salivary excretion of Torque Teno Virus (TTV) in children and adolescents who underwent kidney transplantation and to correlate the number of viral copies with the polymerase chain reaction test for SARS-CoV-2.

methodsa cross-sectional observational study conducted at the post-kidney transplant outpatient clinic of Hospital do Rim e Hipertensão.

resultsthirty-one patients were included, with a predominance of males (54.8%) and ages between 13 and 15 years (38.7%). Salivary excretion of TTV was detected in 96.7% of participants, of whom 36.7% also tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. However, no significant association was found between the two viruses. A moderate negative correlation (-0.463) was observed between TTV levels and serum tacrolimus concentration.

conclusionssalivary excretion of TTV was identified in children and adolescents who underwent kidney transplantation. Although no correlation was observed between TTV and SARS-CoV-2, an association was found between TTV and serum tacrolimus levels.
