Socioeconomic Deprivation and Kidney Transplant Outcomes.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Socioeconomic deprivation adversely affects health outcomes, including those after kidney transplantation. Retrospective studies, including 92,844 patients in the US and 19,103 and 621 in 2 UK cohorts, reported higher mortality and graft rejection among deprived individuals. The persistence of these disparities in the UK, despite having universal health care, suggests that insurance coverage alone does not eliminate inequities. Whether similar patterns exist in Belgium remains unclear. Methods: We studied 1891 kidney transplant recipients (2004-2021) at University Hospitals Leuven, by assessing socioeconomic deprivation using the Belgian Index of Multiple Deprivation (BIMD). The outcomes were all-cause graft failure, graft failure, mortality, and rejection, analyzed with Cox and competing risks models. Results: Socioeconomic deprivation was associated with all-cause graft failure in univariable analysis (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00-1.14, Conclusion: Socioeconomic deprivation in Belgium was associated with rejection, specifically TCMR, and univariably with all-cause graft failure. We lacked evidence of associations with graft failure or mortality separately. These findings suggest that universal health care may mitigate some adverse posttransplantation outcomes because of socioeconomic deprivation. Future studies should evaluate whether deprivation affects access to transplantation itself.
