Socioeconomic disparities in kidney transplant access for patients with end-stage kidney disease within the All of Us Research Program.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectivesDisparity in kidney transplant access has been demonstrated by a disproportionately low rate of kidney transplantation in socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. However, the information is not from national representative populations with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We aim to examine whether socioeconomic disparity for kidney transplant access exists by utilizing data from the All of Us Research Program. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe analyzed data of adult ESKD patients using the All of Us Researcher Workbench. The association of socioeconomic data including types of health insurance, levels of education, and household incomes with kidney transplant access was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted by baseline demographic, medical comorbidities, and behavioral information.
resultsAmong 4078 adults with ESKD, mean diagnosis age was 54 and 51.64% were male. The majority had Medicare (39.6%), were non-graduate college (75.79%), and earned $10 000-24 999 annual income (20.16%). After adjusting for potential confounders, insurance status emerged as a significant predictor of kidney transplant access. Individuals covered by Medicaid (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-0.58; P-value < .001) or uninsured (AOR 0.21; 95% CI, 0.12-0.37; P-value < .001) exhibited lower odds of transplantation compared to those with private insurance. DISCUSSION/
conclusionOur findings reveal the influence of insurance status and socioeconomic factors on access to kidney transplantation among ESKD patients. Addressing these disparities through expanded insurance coverage and improved healthcare access is vital for promoting equitable treatment and enhancing health outcomes in vulnerable populations.
