A Prognostic Index for Deceased Donor Kidneys and Criteria for Identifying Suitable Candidates for Kidney Transplantation from Expanded Criteria Donors with Prolonged Waiting Times.

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
Introduction: The kidney donor profile index (KDPI) is a valuable prognostic tool in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT), while its optimization for each country using local data is essential. It remains unclear which patients derive survival benefits from expanded criteria donor (ECD) DDKT compared to waitlist or standard criteria donor (SCD) DDKT, particularly in the context of long waiting times. This study aimed to develop a prognostic index for donor kidneys and propose criteria to identify suitable candidates for ECD DDKT in Korea. Methods: Two prediction models were developed using data from two cohorts based on national databases (the Korean Network for Organ Sharing and the National Health Insurance Data Sharing Service): cohort for the prediction of graft prognosis ( Results: The Korean KDPI (K-KDPI) comprises five donor factors (age, height, diabetes mellitus, serum creatinine levels, and hepatitis C virus), associated with graft failure. The discriminatory ability of the K-KDPI for graft outcomes surpassed that of the US KDPI and dichotomous ECD criteria. ECD kidneys (K-KDPI ≥70%) showed worse allograft survival compared to SCD kidneys (K-KDPI <70%). Candidates aged ≥40 years, with negative panel reactive antibody, and without diabetes mellitus had a significantly lower mortality risk with ECD DDKT than with waitlist-or-SCD DDKT, making them suitable for ECD DDKT. Conclusion: The K-KDPI and criteria for identifying suitable ECD recipients are expected to improve the quality assessment and efficient utilization of ECD kidneys in Korea with long waiting times.
