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

Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is a surgical treatment for patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes mellitus who consequently develop diabetic nephropathy and end-stage renal disease. Well-documented complications of pancreas transplant surgery include acute rejection, chronic rejection, pancreatitis, graft thrombosis, hemorrhage, anastomotic leakage, and intra-abdominal infection. However, small bowel obstruction (SBO), either through internal hernias or adhesive bands, can also occur. Our report details the case of a patient with a history of SPK transplantation 1.5 years earlier, presenting with peritonitis on examination and CT imaging concerning for a closed-loop SBO between the pancreatic allograft and small bowel mesentery. The patient successfully underwent laparoscopic management with laparoscopic small bowel resection and primary anastomosis.
