Outcomes in older kidney recipients from older donors: A propensity score analysis.
Article in Frontiers in nephrology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: The age of patients referred for kidney transplantation has increased progressively. However, the precise influence of age on transplant outcomes is controversial. Methods: Etrospective study in which graft and recipient survival were assessed in a cohort of ≥75 years old kidney recipients and compared with a contemporary younger one aged 60-65 years through a propensity score analysis. Results: We included 106 recipients between 60-65 and 57 patients of ≥75 years old with a median follow-up of 31 [13-54] months. Unadjusted one- and five-year recipient survival did not significantly differ between the older (91% and 74%) and the younger group (95% and 82%, P=0.06). In the IPTW weighted Cox regression analysis, recipient age was not associated with an increased risk of death (HR 1.88 95%CI [0.81-4.37], P=0.14). Unadjusted one- and five-year death-censored graft survival did not significantly differ between both groups (96% and 83% for the older and 99% and 89% for the younger group, respectively, P=0.08). After IPTW weighted Cox Regression analysis, recipient age ≥75 years was no associated with an increased risk of graft loss (HR 1.95, 95%CI [0.65-5.82], P=0.23). Conclusions: These results suggest that recipient age should not be considered itself as an absolute contraindication for kidney transplant.
