Deceased donor kidney transplant policies in Asia - implications on practice and recommendations for the future.
Review in The Lancet regional health. Southeast Asia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) is common in high income Western countries with high transplantation rates. However, the utilization of deceased organs is suboptimal in Asia, due to a multitude of factors. Coherent policies are integral to the development of DDKT programs and deterrence of commercialization, but most are still at an infancy and formative stage in Asia. This review article identifies the glass ceiling effects of social, cultural, religious, political, and technical factors hampering the progress of DDKT in Asia. Additionally, it reviews the history of policy development in different countries and describes their idiosyncratic barriers and challenges. Lastly, it discusses innovative policy measures that can be undertaken to proliferate DDKT practice and curtail commercialization. The long-term ideal is to achieve regional equity and self-sufficiency, through a shared ethos of social and ethical responsibility that transcends and resonates with the different segments of the Asian community.
