Postoperative factors associated with psychological well-being of living kidney donors: results of a retrospective and qualitative study.

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 transplantation from a living donor is the treatment of choice for end- stage kidney disease. Psychological implications of living kidney donation are of great importance, both during preliminary psychiatric assessment and post-donation follow-up. The identification of risk factors worsening the psychological well-being of living kidney donors (LKDs), before and after donation, remains challenging in terms of research. Methods: At the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG), our clinical observations and practice compelled us to establish post-donation follow-ups for LKDs at 6 months and 1 year. Pre-and post-donation sociodemographic, physical, psychological, and psychiatric data was collected from the medical records of 115 LKDs who underwent a complete physical and psychological evaluation during the period 2011-2018. We tested for any potential association between the variables under study. Results: A qualitative and retrospective analysis of this data highlighted the impact of postoperative factors, such as pain, fatigue, recipient-donor relationship, and fulfillment of donors' expectations, on the post-donation psychological well-being of LKDs. Discussion: With regard to these findings, regular post-donation follow-ups, optimal care of postoperative pain and fatigue, as well as a solid therapeutic alliance with LKDs remain key points for clinicians involved in the dynamic process of living kidney donation.
