Challenges of COVID: Lessons Learned From Living Kidney Donors' Experience.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The COVID pandemic disrupted healthcare systems worldwide, affecting medical care delivery, including transplant centers. As sites of tertiary healthcare delivery, living kidney donations were particularly impacted, with delays, communication challenges, and an increased burden on potential donors. This qualitative study explored the lived experiences of individuals navigating the predonation evaluation (PDE) during the pandemic. Through 25 semistructured interviews, the participants shared insights into delays in care, inconsistent communication, pandemic-related emotions, and unexpected facilitators. The constant comparative analysis method identified key themes, including (1) delays in care due to COVID, (2) inconsistent communication due to COVID, (3) pandemic-related emotions, and (4) pandemic-era shifts that facilitated living kidney donor (LKD) PDE. The data highlighted the importance of maintaining patient-centered care, effective communication and pointed to specific ways to improve the patient's experience. These themes highlight mitigating strategies to address future care for other types of LKD disruptions.
