1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The UK Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Outcome Prediction (UK-DTOP) Tool, developed using advanced artificial intelligence (AI), significantly enhances the prediction of outcomes for deceased-donor kidney transplants in the UK. This study analyzed data from the UK Transplant Registry (UKTR), including 29,713 transplant cases between 2008 and 2022, to assess the predictive performance of three machine learning models: XGBoost, Random Survival Forest, and Optimal Decision Tree. Among these, XGBoost demonstrated exceptional performance with the highest concordance index of 0.74 and an area under the curve (AUC) consistently above 0.73, indicating robust discriminative ability and calibration. In comparison to the traditional Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI), which achieved a lower concordance index of 0.57, the UK-DTOP model marked a significant improvement, underscoring its superior predictive accuracy. The advanced capabilities of the XGBoost model were further highlighted through calibration assessments using the Integrated Brier Score (IBS), showing a score of 0.14, indicative of precise survival probability predictions.
