Impact of Donor Age on Clinical Outcomes of Primary Single Kidney Transplantation From Maastricht Category-III Donors After Circulatory Death.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundStandard-criteria donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidney transplants (KTx) have higher primary nonfunction, delayed graft function (DGF), and rejection rates than age-matched donation after brain death (DBD) but similar graft survival. Data on expanded-criteria DCD are conflicting and many centers remain concerned regarding their use.
methodsIn this single-center observational study with 5-year follow-up, we analyzed data from 112 primary DCD Maastricht category-III single KTx receiving similar organ preservation and maintenance immunosuppression. Patients were sorted as young DCD (donor <60 years, 72 recipients) or old DCD (donor ≥60 years, 40 recipients). Old DCD outcomes were compared with young DCD and to a DBD control group (old DBD, donor ≥60 years, 40 recipients).
resultsAfter 5 years, old DCD showed lower patient survival (66% vs 85%;
conclusionsOverall, single KTx from DCD Maastricht category-III donors 60 years or older have inferior outcomes than KTx from donors younger than 60 years. Comparison with age-matched DBD showed similar patient and graft survivals. However, the discrepancy in graft function between DCD and DBD deserves further investigation.
