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

Acute kidney injury and renal failure are common after heart transplantation. We retrospectively reviewed a national cohort and identified 1129 heart transplant patients. Patients receiving renal replacement therapy after heart transplantation were grouped into the dialysis cohort. The long-term survival and risk factors of dialysis were investigated. Patients who had undergone dialysis were stratified to early or late dialysis for subgroup analysis. The mean follow-up was five years, the incidence of dialysis was 28.4% (21% early dialysis and 7.4% late dialysis). The dialysis cohort had higher overall mortality compared with the non-dialysis cohort. The hazard ratios of mortality in patients with dialysis were 3.44 (95% confidence interval (CI), 2.73-4.33) for all dialysis patients, 3.58 (95% CI, 2.74-4.67) for early dialysis patients, and 3.27 (95% CI, 2.44-4.36; all
