Racial disparities in posttransplant outcomes among recipients undergoing simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation.
Article in European journal of gastroenterology & hepatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with end-stage cirrhosis may experience renal dysfunction, necessitating a simultaneous kidney-liver transplant (SKLT). Guidelines have been put forth by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to streamline the SKLT allocation process and ensure equitable access to transplantation. However, there is a scarcity of literature on racial and ethnic disparities in post-SKLT outcomes.
methodsThe UNOS Standard Transplant Analysis and Research Database was queried from 2005 to 2019 to study SKLT patients. Patients were stratified by race: White (reference group) recipients ( n = 3513), Black recipients ( n = 859), Hispanic recipients ( n = 964), Asian recipients ( n = 206), and other recipients ( n = 85). Primary endpoints included all-cause mortality and graft failure while secondary endpoints were specific causes of death.
resultsHispanic recipients had a lower risk of all-cause mortality (aHR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.68-0.93, P = 0.003), while Black recipients had a significantly increased risk of graft failure compared to Whites (aHR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.16-2.30, P = 0.005). Evaluation of specific causes of recipient death revealed a higher risk of death due to gastrointestinal hemorrhage among Blacks (aHR: 4.16, 95% CI: 1.04-16.68, P = 0.04).
conclusionOur study findings show Black patients experience higher rates of graft failure compared to White counterparts. The reasons for these disparities are not fully understood but likely a combination of biological and social factors. Further investigation is warranted to ascertain the specific factors influencing these outcomes.
