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

Limited training opportunities for transplant nephrologists have been identified as a potential contributing factor for declining pancreas transplant volumes. However, data describing pancreas transplant training within transplant nephrology fellowships are scarce. We conducted a survey of 66 accredited U.S. transplant nephrology fellowship programs between December 2024 and May 2025 to assess perceived barriers and strategies to enhance pancreas transplant training. A total of 48 (72%) responses were received. A significant number of programs (n = 21; 44%) reported that they did not graduate fellows to meet the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network eligibility requirements to become primary pancreas transplant physicians. 14 (29%) programs either did not perform pancreas transplants or performed fewer than 5 annually. Low pancreas transplant volume was identified as the most significant barrier to training. The most frequently endorsed solutions included designing dedicated pancreas transplant rotations, even at institutions outside their own, and implementing a standardized training curriculum. Such interventions may help address current training gaps and strengthen the future pancreas transplant workforce.
