Center-Level Experience and Kidney Transplant Outcomes in HIV-Infected Recipients.

The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Excellent outcomes among HIV+ kidney transplant (KT) recipients have been reported by the NIH consortium, but it is unclear if experience with HIV+ KT is required to achieve these outcomes. We studied associations between experience measures and outcomes in 499 HIV+ recipients (SRTR data 2004-2011). Experience measures examined included: (1) center-level participation in the NIH consortium; (2) KT experiential learning curve; and (3) transplant era (2004-2007 vs. 2008-2011). There was no difference in outcomes among centers early in their experience (first 5 HIV+ KT) compared to centers having performed >6 HIV+ KT (GS adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.68-1.61, p = 0.82; PS aHR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.56-1.53, p = 0.76), and participation in the NIH-study was not associated with any better outcomes (GS aHR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.71-1.65, p = 0.71; PS aHR: 1.13; 95% CI: 0.68-1.89, p = 0.63). Transplant era was strongly associated with outcomes; HIV+ KTs performed in 2008-2011 had 38% lower risk of graft loss (aHR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.42-0.92, p = 0.02) and 41% lower risk of death (aHR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.39-0.90, p = 0.01) than that in 2004-2007. Outcomes after HIV+ KT have improved over time, but center-level experience or consortium participation is not necessary to achieve excellent outcomes, supporting continued expansion of HIV+ KT in the US.
