Effects of recipient education disparity on living donor kidney transplant outcomes across different ethnic groups: a retrospective study in the United States.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Background: Previous studies have shown that education level is associated with the prognosis of cadaveric kidney transplant recipients. However, it is unclear whether education affects the prognosis of living kidney transplant (LDKT) recipients. In addition, it remains to be determined whether the uneven distribution of educational levels consistently affects the prognosis of LDKT recipients across ethnic groups (White, Black, Hispanic and Asian). Methods: After establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria, we conducted a retrospective study of LDKT recipients who received their first single LDKT between 2005 and 2020. The LDKT recipients were divided into lower- and higher-education groups according to categorize the educational level of recipients, and transplant outcomes, including graft survival, patient survival, and death-censored graft survival (DCGS), were analyzed and compared. Results: Graft survival, DCGS and patient mortality were significantly better in the higher-education group compared with those in the lower-education group (P<0.001), with the risk of graft failure, death censored graft failure (DCGF) and patient mortality increasing by 11%, 15% and 7% in the lower-education group, respectively. Furthermore, compared with the higher-education group, the risk of graft failure in Black recipients increased by 18% [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR), 1.18; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07 to 1.30], and the risk of patient mortality among White recipients decreased by 7% (aHR, 0.93; 95% CI: 0.87 to 0.99). However, there were no significant differences in graft failure and patient mortality among Hispanic and Asian recipients, respectively. Conclusions: This study revealed that LDKT recipients with a higher education level had better transplant outcomes. However, these transplant outcome differences were mainly found in White and Black recipients. These data confirm the significant effect of different levels of education on the prognosis of LDKT recipients.
