Characterization of the stanford integrated psychosocial assessment for transplant for heart, liver, and kidney transplant candidates in Japan.
Article in BioPsychoSocial medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplantation (SIPAT) is a comprehensive psychosocial assessment proven useful for predicting the outcomes of organ transplantation that is expected to be useful in Japan. However, the characteristics of organ-specific SIPAT scores for organ transplant recipient candidates in Japan are unclear and, to date, the SIPAT has not been properly utilized in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to present basic data that can be used to establish the relation between SIPAT scores and post-transplantation psychosocial outcomes as well as organ-specific outcomes.
methodsThis study included 167 transplant recipient candidates (25 heart, 71 liver, and 71 kidney) who completed a semi-structured interview based on the Japanese version of SIPAT (SIPAT-J) prior to transplantation. The differences between organs in terms of SIPAT scores and differences in SIPAT scores based on demographic data were comparatively analyzed.
resultsThe total SIPAT scores were higher for liver recipient candidates than for heart recipient candidates (P = .019). Regarding the subscales, SIPAT B (social support system) scores were higher for liver and kidney recipient candidates than for heart recipient candidates (P = .021), whereas SIPAT C (psychological stability and psychopathology) scores were higher for liver recipient candidates than for kidney recipient candidates (P = .002). Recipient candidates with a history of psychiatric treatment and those who were unemployed had higher SIPAT scores, regardless of the transplant organ, than recipient candidates without a history of psychiatric treatment and those who were employed (P < .001, P = .016, respectively).
conclusionsThere were notable differences in the total SIPAT-J and subscale scores among the liver, heart, and kidney recipient candidates. Each organ was associated with specific psychosocial issues that should be addressed before transplantation. Interventions such as information provision and patient education based on SIPAT assessment results for each organ may improve recipient post-transplant outcomes.
