Outcomes of kidneys used for transplantation: an analysis of survival and function.
Article in Frontiers in transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Kidney transplant recipients expect to survive the procedure with sufficient renal function for reliable dialysis freedom. Methods: Transplant outcomes (survival and estimated renal function) were assessed after live and deceased donor transplantation from the US national database. Outcomes were stratified by age (donor and recipient) and donor type. Results: Aggregate recipient outcomes were better transplanting living vs deceased donated kidneys. However, when stratified by the one-year renal function (within KDIGO CKD stage stratifications), surviving recipients had clinically similar dialysis-freedom, irrespective of donor type or age. The major outcome differences for recipients of age-stratified live and deceased kidneys was 1) the increasing frequency of one-year graft failures and 2) the increasing likelihood of severely limited renal function (CKD 4/5) with advancing donor age. Over 30% of recipients of deceased kidneys >65 years had either one-year graft failure or severely limited renal function contrasted to less than 15% of recipients of live kidneys aged >65 years. Conclusions: Evolving techniques to reduce adverse events after urgent vs elective procedures, plus improved transplant outcome predictability with increased-age deceased donor kidneys using advanced predictive analytics (using age-stratified live kidney transplantation outcomes as a relevant reference point) should facilitate similar kidney transplant outcomes, irrespective of donor type.
