Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation: an overview of indications, complications, and outcomes.
Review in The Western journal of medicine, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK) has become an accepted therapy for the treatment of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and renal failure from diabetic nephropathy. The procedure has evolved over the last twenty years, and refinements in technique, better organ preservation solutions, and more potent immunosuppressive therapies have improved one-year graft-survival rates to 81% for the pancreas and 88% for the kidney (International Pancreas Transplant Registry Data-1996). Proper patient selection is important, given the increased complexity of the procedure, the increased need for immunosuppression, and the need for compliance with postoperative medications and monitoring. The benefits of a successful SPK include more physiologic glucose metabolism and freedom from dialysis. This review will describe the indications and selection process for potential candidates, outline the procedure and postoperative care, and discuss the potential impact on secondary complications of diabetes mellitus. It will then discuss results and complications from the use of current protocols and immunosuppression at the University of California at San Francisco.
