The Challenges and Promise of HIV-Infected Donors for Solid Organ Transplantation.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Solid organ transplantation is now the standard of care for many HIV-infected patients with end-stage kidney or liver disease. There is an overall organ shortage that affects all transplant candidates, including those with HIV. The use of HIV-infected donors could help alleviate this shortage. The precedent for this approach was set in South Africa, where promising short-term outcomes have been reported in a limited number of HIV-infected recipients of kidney transplants from HIV-infected donors. As a consequence, the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act was passed in the United States, legalizing research into HIV-infected organ donation. In this review, we discuss some of the key issues related to HIV-infected organ donation, including the need for transplant in HIV-infected populations, characterization of the potential donor pool in the USA, criteria for donor selection, concerns specific to the HIV-infected donor, the ethics of HIV-infected organ donation, and the next steps toward making HIV-infected donation a reality in the USA.
