Comparing Emotional Adjustment of Living-donor and Deceased-donor Kidney Transplant Patients.
Article in Transplantation direct, 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
Kidney transplantation is regarded as the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, living-donor recipients (LDRs) and deceased-donor recipients (DDRs) still face challenges in transplant-specific emotional adjustment post-transplantation. Research distinguishing emotional adjustment between transplant groups has been limited to Western settings, with little attention given to Asian populations. As such, documenting and comparing the emotional adjustment of LDRs and DDRs in an ethnically diverse Asian setting in Singapore and identifying factors associated with emotional adjustment are of interest.
methodsOne hundred eighty-two kidney transplant patients (106 LDRs and 76 DDRs) completed measures of generic distress (Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21) and transplantation-specific emotional and behavioral outcomes (Transplant Effects Questionnaire).
resultsLDRs were significantly younger (
conclusionsClinicians should be vigilant of younger kidney transplant patients who have greater risk of poorer emotional adjustment. Future interventions should target alleviating anxiety and transplant-specific worry.
