Knowledge about Benefits of Kidney Transplantation: A Survey of Dialysis Patients.
Article in Annals of urology & nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundKnowledge about benefits of kidney transplantation (KT) is an important determinant of the patients' decision to pursue KT. We investigated factors associated with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients' knowledge about KT benefits.
methodsWe randomly invited 1,400 dialysis patients to complete a survey about benefits of KT. Using multivariate analysis, we calculated odds ratios for the probability of choosing the correct responses.
resultsOf 673 participants, 17.6% agreed with benefit of KT for older patients, 36.5% agreed with benefit of KT for diabetic patients, and 31.5% agreed with benefit of pre-emptive KT. Non-white (OR: 0.68) and older (OR: 0.65) participants were less likely to agree with the survival benefit of KT. Older participants were less likely to agree with benefit of KT for older (OR: 0.64), and diabetic patients (OR: 0.54). Participants with less than high school education were less likely to agree with benefit of pre-emptive KT (OR: 0.58). Participants with a previous KT were more likely to agree with benefit of KT for older (OR: 2.32), and diabetic patients (OR: 2.50), and with the benefit of pre-emptive KT (OR: 2.34). Participants who had received 3 or more modes of education about KT were more likely to agree with benefit of KT for diabetic patients (OR: 2.04), and with benefit of pre-emptive KT (OR:1.67).
conclusionsDialysis patients have limited knowledge about benefits of KT. Previous KT, exposure to 3 or more modes of KT education, and education attainment are significant contributors to knowledge about KT benefits.
