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

Introduction: Social determinants of health (SDOH) are associated with disparities in access to living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). However, the separate and joint impact of individual- and area-level SDOH on the likelihood of LDKT versus deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) is unclear. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed adult, kidney-alone recipients transplanted in 2020 or 2022, using data from the organ procurement and transplantation network (OPTN). Individual-level SDOH and patient address were obtained from LexisNexis; area-level SDOH were obtained from the American Community Survey and County Health Rankings. We fit 3 logistic regression models to estimate the effects of the following: (i) individual-level SDOH, (ii) area-level SDOH, and (iii) both individual- and area-level SDOH on the likelihood of LDKT, adjusting for clinical and demographic factors. Results: This study included 38,964 adult kidney recipients; Conclusion: Our findings suggest that individual- and area-level SDOH play overlapping but distinct roles contributing to disparities in LDKT. Addressing individual- and area-level SDOH is crucial, considering the accentuated effect of income at the individual- rather than area-level.
