Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation in the Elderly Recipients.

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
introductionIn a developing country with a predominantly young population, the valid assumption is directed toward medical care toward the young. However, as medical technology has advanced, quality care has ensured better survival for the elderly population also. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes in elderly patients undergoing kidney transplantation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of 1150 patients who had undergone live related renal transplantation was done from January 2006 to December 2014. These patients were divided into two groups; Group 1: age >60 years (
resultsThe mean age in Group 1 was 69 ± 7.5 years (SD ± 7.5), and group 2 was 41 ± 8 years. In groups 1 and 2, males were 80% and 82%; death censored graft survival at 5 years was 82% and 87%; patient survival at 5 years was 86% and 94%, respectively. The incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection was similar in both groups (11.3 vs. 10.2%,
conclusionIn the elderly patients who underwent kidney transplantation, satisfactory graft function, and patient survival were maintained over a period of 60 months. Urinary tract infections were common, and sepsis was the most common cause of death with a surviving allograft. The acute rejection and mortality rates were comparable to the literature published from India so far.
