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

backgroundDespite current matching efforts to identify optimal donor-recipient pairs for kidney transplantation, alloimmunity remains a major source of late transplant failure. Additional genetic parameters in donor-recipient matching could help improve longterm outcomes. Here, we studied the impact of a non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9) polymorphism on allograft failure.

methodsWe conducted an observational cohort study, analyzing the DNA of 1,271 kidney donor-recipient transplant pairs from a single academic hospital for the MYH9 rs11089788 C>A polymorphism. The associations of the MYH9 genotype with risk of graft failure, biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), and delayed graft function (DGF) were estimated.

resultsA trend was seen in the association between the MYH9 polymorphism in the recipient and graft failure (recessive model, p = 0.056), but not for the MYH9 polymorphism in the donor. The AA-genotype MYH9 polymorphism in recipients was associated with higher risk of DGF (p = 0.03) and BPAR (p = 0.021), although significance was lost after adjusting for covariates (p = 0.15 and p = 0.10, respectively). The combined presence of the MYH9 polymorphism in donor-recipient pairs was associated with poor long-term kidney allograft survival (p = 0.04), in which recipients with an AA genotype receiving a graft with an AA genotype had the worst outcomes. After adjustment, this combined genotype remained significantly associated with 15-year death-censored kidney graft survival (hazard ratio, 1.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-2.70; p = 0.03).

conclusionOur results reveal that recipients with an AA-genotype MYH9 polymorphism receiving a donor kidney with an AA genotype have significantly elevated risk of graft failure after kidney transplantation.
