Deceased-Donor Kidney Biopsy Scoring Systems for Predicting Future Graft Function: A Comparative Study.
Article in Transplantation proceedings, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundDeceased-donor kidney quality pretransplantation is considered critical for future graft function. Assessment of donor kidney quality considers clinical and histologic variables. Several models that incorporate a variety of these factors have been proposed to predict long-term graft survival.
methodsWe compared the performance metrics of 4 scoring systems models---the Maryland Aggregate Pathology Index, Banff, Remuzzi, and Leuven---for predicting renal allograft survival. In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 173 renal allografts that underwent preoperative baseline biopsy. Donor demographics and donor baseline histopathology data were collected and correlated with graft survival posttransplant.
resultsAmong the 4 scoring systems, none were significantly associated with posttransplant graft survival or early graft function. The Maryland Aggregate Pathology Index scoring system had better predictive capacity in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis; however, the utility as a predictor of graft survival was only slightly better than chance. Baseline histologic features were individually analyzed, and it was found that none were associated with graft survival in this cohort. Among donor demographics, none were significantly associated with graft survival.
conclusionsIn our study none of the 4 previously proposed predictive models were associated with graft survival after transplantation. Further studies are needed to define new models with stronger predictive value for graft outcome that could help minimize organ discards.
