1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Due to shortage of donor, kidney transplants (KTs) from donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) are expanding. Although previous studies comparing clinical outcomes between AKI and non-AKI donors in KTs have shown comparable results, data on high-volume analysis of KTs outcomes with AKI donors are limited. This study aimed to analyze the selection trends of AKI donors and investigate the impact of AKI on graft failure using the United states cohort data. We analyzed a total 52,757 KTs collected in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipient (SRTR) from 2010 to 2015. The sample included 4,962 (9.4%) cases of KTs with AKI donors (creatinine ≥ 2 mg/dL). Clinical characteristics of AKI and non-AKI donors were analyzed and outcomes of both groups were compared. We also analyzed risk factors for graft failure in AKI donor KTs. Although the incidence of delayed graft function was higher in recipients of AKI donors compared to non-AKI donors, graft and patient survival were not significantly different between the two groups. We found donor hypertension, cold ischemic time, the proportion of African American donors, and high KDPI were risk factors for graft failure in AKI donor KTs. KTs from deceased donor with AKI showed comparable outcomes. Thus, donors with AKI need to be considered more actively to expand donor pool. Caution is still needed when donors have additional risk factors of graft failure.
