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

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; ESRD, end stage renal disease; HR, hazard ratio; IRB, Institutional Review Board; ICD, International Classification of Diseases; KTX, kidney transplantation; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; PSM, propensity scoring matching; PTM: post-transplantation malignancy; SIR, standardized incidence ratio; SMR, standardized mortality rate. Objective: Malignancy is a main cause of mortality and morbidity in kidney transplantation recipients. Advancements in cancer surveillance and treatment may contribute to increased incidence and improved clinical outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the trends and clinical outcomes of post-transplantation malignancies over the past two decades. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX network. Common post-transplantation malignancies were identified, and outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with propensity score matching. We compared two transplantation cohorts (2000-2010 and 2011-2021) to assess potential changes in malignancy incidence, graft survival, and patient mortality. Results: A total of 184,267 kidney transplantation recipients were included. Compared to the general population, transplantation recipients exhibited a higher risk of malignancy [standardized incidence ratio (SIR) 1.635; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.600-1.670] and mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.115; 95% CI, 1.071-1.763; Conclusion: Kidney transplantation recipients remain at increased risk for malignancies and associated mortality. While the incidence of malignancies has not changed significantly over the past two decades, both graft failure and mortality have declined in the recent decade, potentially reflecting improvements in post-transplantation care and cancer management.
