The association of discharge decisions after deceased donor kidney transplantation with the risk of early readmission: Results from the deceased donor study.
Article in Clinical transplantation, 2018. 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
backgroundKidney transplant (KT) recipients experience high rates of early (≤30 days) hospital readmission (EHR) after KT, and existing studies provide limited data on modifiable discharge factors that may mitigate EHR risk.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of 468 adult deceased donor KT recipients transplanted between 4/2010 and 11/2013 at 5 United States transplant centers. We fit multivariable mixed effects models to assess the association of two potentially modifiable discharge factors with the probability of EHR after KT: (i) weekend discharge and (ii) days to first scheduled follow-up.
resultsAmong 468 KT recipients, 38% (n = 178) experienced EHR after KT. In fully adjusted analyses, compared to weekday discharges, KT recipients discharged on the weekend had a 29% lower risk of EHR (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41-0.94). Compared to follow-up within 2 days of discharge, KT recipients with follow-up within 3 to 6 days had a 28% higher probability of EHR (aOR 1.28, 95% CI 1.13-1.45).
conclusionsThese findings suggest that clinical decisions related to the timing of discharge and follow-up modify EHR risk after KT, independent of traditional risk factors.
