Impact of deceased donor acute kidney injury (AKI) on renal transplant outcomes.
Review in Surgery open science, 2026. 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
Aims: Donor AKI is a common reason for discarding deceased donor kidneys due to uncertainty regarding transplant outcomes. Our study investigated the effect of AKI in donor kidneys on post-transplantation outcomes. Methods: Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science were searched. Risk of bias assessment was performed. 2984 studies were identified by the search, 34 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 103,529 kidney transplants were analysed, 97,165 (94 %) with and 6364 (6 %) without donor AKI. Results: There was no significant difference between recipients of grafts from donors with terminal serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dl and < 2.0 mg/dl in 1 year serum creatinine (MD: -0.01, CI: -0.09-0.07, Conclusions: Donor AKI is associated with a higher incidence of DGF but has no effect on post-transplant patient and graft survival and, based on this analysis, should not be a sole reason for discarding kidneys.
