Health-related quality of life changes following renal transplantation in children.
Article in Pediatric transplantation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundStudies of HRQoL after kidney transplant have yielded conflicting results. We sought to assess the impact of kidney transplant on HRQoL.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study using the PedsQL3.0ESRD module during dialysis and at 3 and 12 months following kidney transplant in 56 recipients. For the entire cohort, we described HRQoL scores at each time point and used ANOVA models to test for associations between demographic and transplant-related factors and post-transplant scores. We used linear mixed models to investigate interactions between transplant and demographic and transplant-related factors and to estimate differences between mean pre- and post-transplant scores. Longitudinal changes in HRQoL were assessed by t test.
resultsWe found increases in all mean total scores, including subscales, at each assessed time period from dialysis to 3 months post-transplant to 12 months post-transplant. Post-transplant total scores did not differ by gender, race, proximity to hospital, allograft source, or dialysis modality, but did differ by recipient age. Among participants with both pre- and post-transplant observations, total scores increased for both recipients and parent-proxies.
conclusionsThis study affirms the association between kidney transplant and improvement in HRQoL in the first year following transplant. Future research should further explore outcomes over the longer-term and factors contributing to HRQoL among this population.
