Long-term outcomes during 37 years of pediatric kidney transplantation: a cohort study comparing ethnic groups.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation over 37 years in a national referral center and compare outcomes between Israeli Jewish and Arab children.
methodsData on 599 pediatric transplantations performed in 545 children during 1981-2017, including demographic parameters, kidney failure disease profile, and pre-transplant dialysis duration, were retrieved from our computerized database and patient files. Patient and graft survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
resultsTwenty-year patient survival was 91.4% for live donor (LD) and 80.2% for deceased donor (DD) kidney recipients. Respective 10-year and 20-year graft survival rates for first kidney-only transplants were 75.2% and 47.0% for LD and 60.7% and 38.4% for DD grafts. Long-term graft survival improved significantly (p < 0.001) over the study period for recipients of both LD and DD allografts and reached 7-year graft survival of 92.0% and 71.3%, respectively. The proportion of DD transplantations was higher in the Arab subpopulation: 73.8% vs. 48.4% (p < 0.001). Graft survival was not associated with age at transplantation and did not differ between the Arab (N = 202) and Jewish children (N = 343). Median (IQR) waiting time on dialysis did not differ significantly between the Arab and Jewish children: 18 (10-30) and 15 (9-30) months, respectively (p Mann-Whitney = 0.312).
conclusionsGood and progressively improving long-term results were obtained in pediatric kidney transplantation at our national referral center, apparently due to expertise gained over time and advances in immunosuppression. Equal access to DD kidney transplant and similar graft survival were found between ethnic groups.
