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

Introduction: For individuals with both end-stage heart failure and end-stage kidney disease or persistent acute kidney injury (AKI), simultaneous heart-kidney transplantation (SHKT) emerges as a viable treatment option, potentially yielding superior survival rates compared with heart transplantation (HT) alone. Nevertheless, accurately forecasting kidney recovery following HT in patients with moderate kidney failure poses challenges, thereby complicating the decision-making process for SHKT. Methods: This study employed a random forest (RF) machine learning algorithm, using 15 variables with the highest feature importance scores in the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) data in which we analyzed a retrospective cohort of adult HT recipients from October 18, 2018 to December 31, 2020 in the US, with a follow-up for at least 1 year. The algorithm's goal was to predict a composite binary outcome with a calculated probability. An adverse outcome included the need for SHKT or adverse kidney outcomes within the first-year posttransplant (defined as end-stage kidney disease requiring chronic dialysis, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≤ 20 ml/min per 1.73 m Results: Of the 6579 patients in the study cohort, 13.4% received SHKT or experienced adverse kidney outcomes within a year following HT ( Conclusion: This tool supplements, not replace, clinical judgment in addressing the complexities of SHKT decision-making at the time of waitlisting.
