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

In 2023, the field of kidney transplantation faced both successes and challenges. A record 28,142 total kidney transplants were achieved in the United States, largely due to an increase in deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKTs). While the number of adult candidates listed for DDKT slightly increased, it remained below the level in 2019, with 11.4% of candidates waiting 5 years or more. Across racial and ethnic groups, Black adult candidates had the largest increase in DDKT rate in 2023, in parallel with the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network policy to modify waiting time (implemented January 5, 2023). Following increases in death rates during the COVID-19 pandemic, pretransplant mortality declined in 2023 across various age, race and ethnicity, sex, and blood type categories, although mortality continued to vary substantially by donation service area. The rate of deceased donor kidneys that were recovered for transplant but not transplanted (nonuse) increased to a notable high of 27.9%, from 26.6% in 2022, with even higher rates for biopsied kidneys (41.4%), those from donors aged 65 years or older (72.2%), and kidneys with a kidney donor profile index of 85% or higher (72.5%). In contrast, nonuse of kidneys recovered from hepatitis C virus nucleic acid test-positive donors declined to 27.2% in 2023, from 43.0% in 2017, likely reflecting more common use of protocols incorporating direct-acting antiviral therapy. Disparities in access to living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) persist and particularly affect non-White and publicly insured patients. Delayed graft function has risen over the past decade, but appears to have plateaued, at 26.1% overall for adult recipients in 2023. Five-year graft survival rates were 90.0% for LDKT compared with 82.2% for DDKT in recipients aged 18-34 years, and 80.2% for LDKT versus 66.1% for DDKT in those aged 65 years or older.
