Urine Injury Biomarkers Are Not Associated With Kidney Transplant Failure.
Observational study in Transplantation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundKidneys transplanted from deceased donors with serum creatinine-defined acute kidney injury (AKI) have similar allograft survival as non-AKI kidneys but are discarded at a higher rate. Urine injury biomarkers are sensitive markers of structural kidney damage and may more accurately predict graft outcomes.
methodsIn the 2010-2013 multicenter Deceased Donor Study of 2430 kidney transplant recipients from 1298 donors, we assessed the association of donor urine injury biomarkers microalbumin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1, IL-18, and liver-type fatty acid binding protein with graft failure (GF) and death-censored GF (dcGF) using Cox proportional hazard models (median follow-up 4 y). We examined if serum creatinine-defined donor AKI modified this association to assess the relationship between subclinical donor AKI (elevated biomarkers without creatinine-defined AKI) and GF. Through chart review of a subcohort (1137 recipients), we determined associations between donor injury biomarkers and a 3-year composite outcome of GF, mortality, or estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤ 20mL/min/1.73m.
resultsRisk of GF, dcGF, and 3-year composite outcome did not vary with donor injury biomarker concentrations after adjusting for donor, transplant, and recipient characteristics (adjusted hazard ratio ranged from 0.96 to 1.01 per log-2 increase in biomarker). Subclinical injury in transplanted kidneys without AKI was not associated with GF.
conclusionsAKI measured using injury biomarkers was not associated with posttransplant graft outcomes (at median 4 y posttransplant). When assessing posttransplant graft viability, clinicians can prioritize other donor and recipient factors over donor kidney injury, measured by either serum creatinine or urine injury biomarkers.
