Trends in US Kidney Transplantation During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Solid organ transplants have been impacted significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Limited data exist regarding changes in living donor kidney transplants. The aim of this study was to describe national trends in kidney transplantation during COVID-19. This descriptive cross-sectional study used publicly available data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the National Kidney Registry (NKR). Plots of national waitlist inactivations, waitlist additions, deceased donor transplants and living donor transplants were created. An Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model with interrupted time series analysis adjusting for first-order autocorrelation was used to evaluate for significant changes in outcome trends every four-week period during the COVID-19 era between March 15 and August 1, 2020. A statistical significance of 0.05 (𝛼) was established for analysis. Changes in kidney transplant volumes during the COVID-19 outbreak were registered. Density mapping and linear regression with interrupted time series analysis were used to characterize changes over time nationwide. Kidney transplants were affected significantly in recent months due to COVID-19. Deceased donor and living donor kidney transplant trends are described in this paper in addition to operative recommendations.
