Screening and prognostic roles of renal volumetry and scintigraphy in the assessment of living kidney transplant donors, considering the early recovery of the residual renal function.

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
backgroundThe existing criteria for living kidney donors (LKDs)in Japan are controversial. We evaluated the roles of computed tomography volumetry (CTV) and 99 m Tc-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) scintigraphy in assessing preoperative and postoperative renal function and predicting early recovery of residual renal function.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 175 consecutive LKDs who underwent donor nephrectomy (DN) at our institution between 2006 and 2022. Preoperative renal volume was assessed using enhanced CTV, and screening of renal functions was performed using 99 m Tc-DTPA scintigraphy. We evaluated the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), single-kidney eGFR (skeGFR), and recovery rate three months after DN.
resultsWe included 55 men and 81 women (median age, 59 years; median follow-up period, 73 months). Age > 60 years, hypertension, and total kidney volume/body surface area (TKV/BSA) < 170 mL/m
conclusionsCTV may be used as a reliable prognostic screening tool to select LKDs and assess their split renal functions before DN, and renal scintigraphy may help select the optimal LKD.
