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

Pancreas transplantation is considered a therapeutic option for patients with complicated diabetes mellitus. In this study, we compared survival rate between patients on the waiting list for pancreas transplant alone(PTA), simultaneous pancreas-kidney(SPK) transplant, and pancreas after kidney(PAK) transplant and transplant recipients. A total of 503 patients (PTA:n = 116; SPK:n = 303; PAK:n = 84) and 280 PT recipients (PTA:n = 89; SPK:n = 155; PAK:n = 36) were retrospectively analyzed at our center between February 2000 and December 2015; 11.9%(60/503) of the patients on the waiting list and 4.3%(12/280) of the PT recipients died. The overall survival rate was higher in the waiting list group for the first year (99.3% vs. 97.8%), after which it was significantly higher in PT group (p = 0.039). The overall relative risk of all-cause mortality for transplant recipients was 2.145(p = 0.285) for PTA, 0.688(p = 0.735) for PAK, however,0.361 (p = 0.012) for SPK compared with that for the waiting list patients. SPK transplant recipients had considerable higher survival benefits, despite the relatively long waiting period, especially after 1 year. In addition, PTA and PAK can also be considered as a treatment option as patient survival was not poor.
