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

Background: Kidney transplantation has been shown to improve life expectancy when compared with remaining on dialysis. However, there is an ever-expanding shortage of available organs for transplantation. The use of high kidney donor profile index (KDPI; >85) kidneys is 1 strategy to address this shortage. The current study aims to evaluate the advantage of accepting a high KDPI versus a low KDPI kidney (KDPI ≤85) in patients 65 y or older. Methods: A single-center retrospective review of all patients, ages 65 y or older, who underwent deceased donor kidney transplantation between 2010 and 2020 was performed. Outcomes and wait times of recipients undergoing low KDPI (KDPI ≤85) versus high KDPI (KDPI >85) kidney transplantation were compared. Significance was defined as Results: Four hundred ninety-two patients were identified; 317 (64.4%) were men with a median age at transplantation of 69 y. Four hundred five patients received low KDPI kidneys, whereas the remaining received high KDPI grafts. High KDPI kidneys were procured from older donors (60 versus 47, Conclusions: In patients 65 y or older undergoing deceased donor kidney transplantation, high KDPI kidneys may offer shorter pretransplant waiting times without compromising graft or patient survival.
