Effect of donor-recipient size mismatch on long-term graft survival in pediatric kidney transplantation: a multicenter cohort study.
Article in Kidney research and clinical practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDonor-recipient size mismatching is commonly occurs in pediatric kidney transplantation (KT). However, its effect on graft survival remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the effect of donor-recipient size mismatch on the long-term survival rate of transplant kidneys in pediatric KT.
methodsA total of 241 pediatric patients who received KT were enrolled. The medical records of all patients were retrospectively reviewed, and the correlation between donor-recipient size mismatch and graft function and long-term graft outcome was analyzed according to donor-recipient size mismatch.
resultsRecipients and donors' mean body weight at the time of KT were 34.31 ± 16.85 and 56.53 ± 16.73 kg, respectively. The mean follow-up duration was 96.49 ± 52.98 months. A significant positive correlation was observed between donor-recipient body weight ratio (DRBWR) or donor-recipient body surface area ratio (DRBSR) and graft function until 1 year after KT. However, this correlation could not be confirmed at the last follow-up. The results of long-term survival analysis using Fine and Gray's subdistribution hazard model showed no significant difference of the survival rate of the transplant kidney according to DRBWR or DRBSR.
conclusionDonor-recipient size mismatch in pediatric KT is not an important factor in determining the long-term prognosis of transplant kidneys.
