Metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease in pancreas and kidney transplant recipients.
Article in Diabetologia, 1991. 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
Hyperinsulinaemia when combined with insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridaemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We have studied the serum lipid profile and glycaemic control in 27 uraemic diabetic patients, 23 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic kidney recipients, 18 non-diabetic kidney recipients, and 30 recipients of kidney and pancreas transplants at 6 months post-transplantation. Fasting serum triglycerides were increased in the uraemic diabetic patients and nondiabetic kidney transplanted patients but not in diabetic kidney transplanted patients whether or not they had received a pancreas. Total cholesterol was increased only in the uraemic diabetic patients while HDL cholesterol was normal in all groups. Within the pancreas and kidney transplanted group triglyceride values correlated with glomerular filtration rate (r = -0.55) but not with plasma insulin, glycated haemoglobin or kG-value following an intravenous glucose load. Plasma insulin was increased. Whether such isolated hyperinsulinaemia confers an increased risk of cardiovascular disease is not known. There may be adaptive feed-back mechanisms to protect target cells. Increasing the surgical risk in attempts to secure insulin delivery to the portal circulation does not seem warranted.
