Association of pretransplant glycemic control with posttransplant outcomes in diabetic kidney transplant recipients.
Article in Diabetes care, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
objectiveObservational studies have yielded inconsistent findings regarding the association of hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) with survival in diabetic patients on dialysis. The association between pretransplant glycemic control and short- and long-term posttransplant outcomes in kidney transplant recipients is not clear. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsLinking the 5-year patient data of a large dialysis organization (DaVita) to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we identified 2,872 diabetic dialysis patients who underwent first kidney transplantation. Mortality or graft failure and delayed graft function (DGF) risks were estimated by Cox regression (hazard ratio [HR]) and logistic regression (odds ratio), respectively.
resultsPatients were 53 ± 11 years old and included 36% women and 24% African Americans. In our fully adjusted model, allograft failure-censored, all-cause death HR and 95% CI for time-averaged pretransplant HbA(1c) categories of 7 to <8%, 8 to <9%, 9 to 10%, and ≥10%, compared with 6 to <7% (reference), were 0.89 (0.59-1.36), 2.06 (1.31-3.24), 1.41 (0.73-2.74), and 3.43 (1.56-7.56), respectively; and graft failure-censored cardiovascular death HR was 0.38 (0.13-1.05), 1.78 (0.69-4.55), 1.59 (0.44-5.76), and 4.28 (0.85-21.64), respectively. We did not find any difference in risk of death-censored graft failure or DGF with different pretransplant HbA(1c) levels.
conclusionsPoor pretransplant glycemic control appears associated with decreased posttransplant survival in kidney transplant recipients, whereas allograft outcomes may not be affected.
