Center Volume and Kidney Transplant Outcomes in Pediatric Patients.
Article in Kidney medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
RATIONALE &
objectivesRecent data demonstrate that center volume is not a factor in the outcomes of adult kidney transplant recipients. This study assessed whether center volume affects graft survival in pediatric patients who received a kidney transplant. STUDY
designCase-cohort study. SETTING &
participantsKidney transplantation centers, recipients younger than 18 years.
resultsData were retrieved from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients for transplantations performed July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2015, and the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network for transplantations performed January 1, 2010, to December 30, 2015. Center volume was divided into 3 groups: low (<4 per year), intermediate (4-8 per year), and high (>8 per year). The primary outcome was 3-year graft survival rate. Outcomes were reviewed in 115 centers that performed 3,762 transplantations. There were no substantive differences in sex, age, ethnicity, diagnosis, and kidney donor profile index score in the 3 transplantation center volume categories. During the 5-year period (July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2015), 3-year graft survival in centers with low, intermediate, and high volumes were 88.4%, 90.3%, and 92.1%, respectively; LIMITATIONS: Lack of information for complications and individual family household income of recipients.
conclusionsTransplantation outcomes are worse in pediatric patients treated at lower-volume centers. The difference was more pronounced for patients receiving living versus deceased donor kidneys. The distribution of household income in pediatric transplant recipients may also be a factor that contributes to lower 3-year graft survival in low-volume centers.
