Time trends in preemptive kidney transplantation in Europe: an ERA registry study.
Article in Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundPreemptive kidney transplantation (PEKT) has better outcomes when compared with transplantation after dialysis. We aimed to examine trends in PEKT between 2000 and 2019 in Europe and to provide an overview of associated policies, barriers and initiatives.
methodsAdult patients from 12 European countries who received a preemptive kidney transplant were included. The representatives of the registries providing these data were questioned on the policies, barriers and initiatives around PEKT.
resultsBetween 2000 and 2019, 20 251 adults underwent PEKT [11 169 from living donors (LDs), 8937 from deceased donors (DDs)]. The proportion of first kidney transplantations that were preemptive more than doubled from 7% in 2000 to 18% in 2019, reflecting a similar relative increase for LD kidney recipients (from 21% to 43%) and DD kidney recipients (from 4% to 11%). Large international differences were found. The increase in PEKT was observed across all age, sex and primary renal disease groups. Countries had similar criteria for preemptive waitlisting. Barriers mentioned included donor shortage, late referral to the transplant center and long donoror recipient work-up. Suggested initiatives included raising awareness on the possibility of PEKT, earlier start and shorter work-up time for recipient and LD.
conclusionsOver the last two decades the proportion of patients receiving a first kidney transplant preemptively has more than doubled, reflecting a similar relative increase for living and DD kidney recipients.
