Executive Functioning and Mental Health in Adolescent Kidney Transplant Candidates During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

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
backgroundPediatric patients with kidney failure are at increased risk for executive functioning and mental health concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic induced prolonged global stress, potentially intensifying these concerns for patients. This study aimed to determine if pediatric kidney transplant candidates evaluated during the pandemic exhibited greater executive functioning and mental health concerns compared to candidates evaluated before the pandemic.
methodWe retrospectively evaluated 43 pediatric kidney transplant candidates (ages 3-17) who completed pretransplant neuropsychological evaluations between 2017 and 2022. The cohort was divided into two groups by evaluation era (before pandemic [n = 21]; during pandemic [n = 22]). Executive function and mental health were compared across groups using analysis of variance adjusting for covariates. Analyses were stratified by age at evaluation (adolescents: 13-17; preadolescents: 3-12 years), and age-by-era interaction was assessed.
resultsOur cohort included 23 adolescents (M
conclusionAdolescent candidates evaluated during the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly higher executive functioning and mental health concerns compared to those evaluated before the pandemic; however, no significant differences were found in the mean scores for preadolescent candidates.
