Hospice Referral Rate Disparities of American Indian/Alaska Native Kidney Transplant Recipients with End-Stage Kidney Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

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
IntroductionAmerican Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons disproportionately suffer from end-stage kidney disease caused by diabetes (ESKD-D). Kidney transplant is the most desirable option to treating ESKD-D, but remains unattainable for many AI/AN persons, especially in rural South Dakota (SD). Additionally, palliative and hospice care options for AI/AN with any serious illness in SD are largely inaccessible. Moreover, receiving kidney transplant potentially affects hospice referral because of the desire to prolong transplant function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare hospice use rates among AI/AN and non-Hispanic White (NHW) persons with ESKD-D prior to death and determine if differences in referral rates are present for those with and without a prior kidney transplant.MethodsRetrospective cohort analysis of United States Renal Data System data from 2000-2021. Data for persons with hospice care, transplant status, place of death, and race were analyzed using chi-squared tests with Yates' continuity correction and the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test.ResultsAI/AN persons with ESKD-D were less likely to receive hospice care prior to death compared to NHW persons in both transplant (
