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: The limitations of conventional measures of socioeconomic status (SES) limit our ability to elucidate the role of SES as a key element of social determinants of health in kidney transplantation. This study's objective was to use an innovative SES measure, the HOUsing-based SES measure (HOUSES) index, to examine the effects of social determinants of health on access to and outcomes of kidney transplantation. Methods: Our study included residents of Minnesota (age older than 18 y) who underwent kidney transplantation at a single center between 2010 and 2020. SES was determined using the HOUSES index, categorized into quartiles (Q1 for lower, Q2-Q4 for higher SES). We used mixed-effects multivariable logistic and Cox models to examine the effects of HOUSES on preemptive transplants, pretransplant dialysis duration, and death-censored graft loss, adjusting for covariates. Results: Among 1975 eligible patients, 29.4% received preemptive transplants, 34.9% underwent pretransplant dialysis for >3 y, and 15.1% experienced death-censored graft loss for a median follow-up of 7.15 (interquartile range, 4.25-11.38) y. Lower SES recipients (Q1) demonstrated decreased preemptive transplant likelihood (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.57-0.97; Conclusions: We observed significant socioeconomic disparities in kidney transplant access, dialysis duration, and graft survival. The HOUSES index may be a promising tool for individual-based targeted interventions as it identifies SES on an individual rather than an area-level basis.
