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

Background: A recent Organ Procurement and Transplant Network policy change removes hepatitis C virus (HCV) status and race from the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) calculation, thereby lowering the KDPI of HCV nucleic acid testing positive (NAT Methods: Using national transplant data from 2015 to 2023, we analyzed adult deceased donor kidney transplants stratified by KDPI and HCV NAT status. An exact matching model was used to identify the matched HCV NAT Results: No significant differences were observed in delayed graft function, rejection, or patient and graft survival between high KDPI HCV NAT Conclusions: Our findings support the safe utilization of previously high KDPI HCV NAT
