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

Fluid management after kidney transplantation requires balancing adequate graft perfusion against fluid overload. We compared central venous pressure (CVP)-guided and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)-guided postoperative management and explored whether longitudinal changes in inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter relative to an individual postoperative reference provided information beyond absolute IVC diameter. This single-center retrospective comparative study included 60 adult kidney transplant recipients (30 per group) with standardized assessments on postoperative days 1-5 and 10. POCUS-guided management was associated with more active therapeutic adjustments during days 1-5 (48.0% vs. 25.3%; OR 2.80, 95% CI 1.45-5.42;
