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

Obesity is increasing worldwide, and this has major implications in the setting of kidney transplantation. Patients with obesity may have limited access to transplantation and increased posttransplant morbidity and mortality. Most transplant centers incorporate interventions aiming to target obesity in kidney transplant candidates, including dietary education and lifestyle modifications. For those failing nutritional restriction and medical therapy, the use of bariatric surgery may increase the transplant candidacy of patients with obesity and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and may potentially improve the immediate and late outcomes. Bariatric surgery in ESRD patients is associated with weight loss ranging from 29.8% to 72.8% excess weight loss, with reported mortality and morbidity rates of 2% and 7%, respectively. The most commonly performed bariatric surgical procedures in patients with ESRD and in transplant patients are laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, the correct timing of bariatric surgery and the ideal type of surgery have yet to be determined, although pretransplant LSG seems to be associated with an acceptable risk-benefit profile. We review the impact of obesity on kidney transplant candidates and recipients and in potential living kidney donors, exploring the potential impact of bariatric surgery in addressing obesity in these populations, thereby potentially improving posttransplant outcomes.
