Kidney transplantation in low- and middle-income countries: the Transplant Links experience.
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Paediatric kidney failure is a global problem responsible for significant childhood morbidity and mortality. The gold-standard treatment is kidney transplantation. However, the availability of kidney transplantation remains limited in some low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Transplant Links Community (TLC) is a UK-based charity that mentors units in LMICs wishing to start kidney transplantation; the ultimate goal is for these units to become self-sufficient. TLC provides this support through in-person training visits and skill transfer, plus direct mentorship from the UK that is maintained over many years. From such mentoring programmes, it is evident that there are numerous challenges in the initial establishment and long-term maintenance of kidney transplant services, with specific and unique barriers applying to setting up paediatric transplant programmes compared to their adult counterparts. This review summarises TLC's first-hand experience of developing paediatric kidney transplantation services in LMICs over the past 15 years, the challenges encountered, and the major ongoing barriers that must be addressed to facilitate further progress in delivering transplantation services to children globally.
