Accuracy of dialysis medical records in determining patients' interest in and suitability for transplantation.
Trial report in Clinical transplantation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundWe sought to determine the accuracy of dialysis medical records in identifying patients' interest in and suitability for transplantation. STUDY
designCluster randomized controlled trial. SETTING AND
participantsA total of 167 patients recruited from 23 hemodialysis facilities.
interventionNavigators met with intervention patients to provide transplant information and assistance. Control patients continued to receive usual care. OUTCOMES: Agreement at study initiation between medical records and (i) patient self-reported interest in transplantation and (ii) study assessments of medical suitability for transplant referral. MEASUREMENTS: Medical record assessments, self-reports, and study assessments of patient's interest in and suitability for transplantation.
resultsThere was disagreement between medical records and patient self-reported interest in transplantation for 66 (40%) of the 167 study patients. In most of these cases, patients reported being more interested in transplantation than their medical records indicated. The study team determined that all 92 intervention patients were medically suitable for transplant referral. However, for 38 (41%) intervention patients, medical records indicated that they were not suitable. About two-thirds of these patients successfully moved forward in the transplant process.
conclusionDialysis medical records are frequently inaccurate in determining patient's interest in and suitability for transplantation.
