Long-term Care of Living Kidney Donors Needs a Better Model of Healthcare Delivery.
Article in Progress in transplantation (Aliso Viejo, Calif.), 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
Every year, over 30,000 healthy individuals globally donate a kidney to a patient with kidney failure. These living kidney donors are at higher risk of some medical complications post-donation when compared with matched controls. Although the absolute risk of these complications is low, appropriate long-term care is essential to allow early detection and timely interventions. Some transplant centers follow living donors long-term, but many recommend that donors regularly see a primary care practitioner post-donation. However, primary care is currently not integrated with transplant centers, and the two often work in silos with little to no channels of communication with each other. As this model of care is suboptimal, existing evidence suggests that post-donation care and follow-up are inadequate. We argue for an integrated model of living donor care with stronger continuity and coordination between primary care and transplant centers that are developed with the input of all relevant stakeholders.
