Pancreas and kidney transplantation.
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Kidney transplantation is preferred over dialysis for management of end-stage renal disease complicating type I or type 2 diabetes, for those who are eligible. Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) or pancreas after kidney transplantation (PAK) is an important alternative to kidney transplantation alone for type I diabetes patients if the patient is able to withstand the additional risks of these procedures, because of the benefits of glucose control on other diabetic complications. Pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) is most useful for the treatment of debilitating, frequent hypoglycemia complicating type I diabetes, if renal function is adequate. One-year pancreas graft survival is best after SPK (82%) but has significantly improved after both PAK (74%) and PTA (76%). The I-year kidney graft and patient survival rates after SPK are similar to kidney transplantation alone. Pancreas transplantation normalizes glucose beyond what can be achieved with insulin therapy and has been shown to decrease progression of or improve most, if not all, diabetic end-organ complications using current immunosuppression regimens. However, the diabetologist and endocrinologist should remain involved in the care of the pancreas or kidney transplant recipient for treatment of vascular disease risk factors such as dyslipidemia, surveillance of other diabetic complications including foot ulcers, surveillance and treatment of bone loss, and management of hyperglycemia if it recurs.
