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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 10% of the global population, with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) necessitating renal replacement therapy. Kidney transplantation remains the optimal treatment for ESRD. However, the global donor kidney shortage crisis has led to increased reliance on deceased donor kidneys. Donors are classified as either donation after brain death (DBD) or donation after circulatory death (DCD), each associated with distinct ischemic injuries that impact graft function. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) plays a pivotal role in transplant outcomes, triggering oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. While static cold storage (SCS) remains the gold standard for organ preservation, alternative strategies such as hypothermic or normothermic machine perfusion (HMP and NMP), use of oxygen carriers during storage, and supplemental compounds to storage solutions have emerged, offering potential benefits in preserving graft viability. This review explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms of ischemic injury in deceased donor kidneys, preservation strategies tested in preclinical models, and emerging therapeutic interventions aimed at improving adverse post-transplant outcomes.
