Mortality assessment for pancreas transplants in the United States over the decade 2008-2018.
Article in World journal of transplantation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPancreas transplant is the only treatment that establishes normal glucose levels for patients diagnosed with diabetes. However, since 2005, no comprehensive analysis has compared survival outcomes of: (1) Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplant; (2) Pancreas after kidney (PAK) transplant; and (3) Pancreas transplant alone (PTA) to waitlist survival.
aimTo explore the outcomes of pancreas transplants in the United States during the decade 2008-2018.
methodsOur study utilized the United Network for Organ Sharing Standard Transplant Analysis and Research file. Pre- and post-transplant recipient and waitlist characteristics and the most recent recipient transplant and mortality status were used. We included all patients with type I diabetes listed for pancreas or kidney-pancreas transplant between May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2018. Patients were grouped into one of three transplant types: SPK, PAK, or PTA.
resultsThe adjusted Cox proportional hazards models comparing survival between transplanted and non-transplanted patients in each transplant type group showed that patients who underwent an SPK transplant exhibited a significantly reduced hazard of mortality [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.21, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.19-0.25] compared to those not transplanted. Neither PAK transplanted patients (HR = 1.68, 95%CI: 0.99-2.87) nor PTA patients (HR = 1.01, 95%CI: 0.53-1.95) exper ienced significantly different hazards of mortality compared to patients who did not receive a transplant.
conclusionWhen assessing each of the three transplant types, only SPK transplant offered a survival advantage compared to patients on the waiting list. PKA and PTA transplanted patients demonstrated no significant differences compared to patients who did not receive a transplant.
