Social determinants of health and pediatric kidney transplant outcomes.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 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
backgroundUnderstanding how social determinants of health (SDoH) affect clinical outcomes is important in achieving health equity. The impact of SDoH on pediatric transplant recipients is poorly understood. We investigated the effect of SDoH on pediatric kidney allograft outcomes.
methodsIn a single-center retrospective pilot cohort study, data were extracted from electronic health records using bioinformatics. INCLUSION CRITERIA: patients 0-18 years old who received a kidney transplant at our center from 9/25/2012-12/31/2022. Exposures were insurance type, distance to transplant center, language, and area deprivation index (ADI). Primary outcomes were graft survival, time to first biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), and number of BPAR. Secondary outcomes were hospitalization and clinic attendance rates. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used for graft survival. Cox proportional hazards models estimated associations of exposure with outcome.
resultsN = 78 participants were 37% female; 37% had living donor; median age at transplant 8.5 years [IQR 3, 14]; median follow-up 5.0 years [IQR 4.1, 7.0]. Insurance type, distance to transplant center, language, and ADI were not associated with higher risk of graft failure, time to first BPAR, or hospitalization rates. Public insurance was associated with increased BPAR episodes [IRR 3.01, 95% CI (1.04, 9.69)]. In a regression analysis, greater distance from the transplant center was associated with a higher rate of missed (either cancelled or no-show) clinic appointments [IRR = 1.04 cancellations per 10-mile increase, 95% CI (1.02, 1.06)].
conclusionsPublic insurance was associated with greater number of BPAR, which impacts long-term graft function. Greater distance to the transplant center was associated with lower clinic attendance, which delays care and may cause negative health effects. These are important SDoH to investigate in larger multi-center cohorts to develop effective strategies to reduce health inequities.
