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

Background: The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) is routinely reported by the donation agencies in Australia. We determined the association between KDPI and short-term allograft loss and assessed if this association was modified by the estimated post-transplant survival (EPTS) score and total ischaemic time. Methods: Using data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry, the association between KDPI (in quartiles) and 3-year overall allograft loss was examined using adjusted Cox regression analysis. The interactive effects between KDPI, EPTS score and total ischaemic time on allograft loss were assessed. Results: Of 4006 deceased donor kidney transplant recipients transplanted between 2010 and 2015, 451 (11%) recipients experienced allograft loss within 3 years post-transplant. Compared with recipients of kidneys with a KDPI of 0-25%, recipients who received donor kidneys with a KDPI >75% experienced a 2-fold increased risk of 3-year allograft loss {adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.04 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.53-2.71]}. The adjusted HRs for kidneys with a KDPI of 26-50% and 51-75% were 1.27 (95% CI 0.94-1.71) and 1.31 (95% CI 0.96-1.77), respectively. There were significant interactions between KDPI and EPTS scores ( Conclusion: Recipients with higher post-transplant expected survival and transplants with longer total ischaemia who received donor allografts with higher KDPI scores experienced a greater risk of short-term allograft loss compared with those recipients with reduced post-transplant expected survival and with shorter total ischemia.
