Differences in COVID-19-related hospitalization burden between kidney transplant recipients and hemodialysis patients vaccinated against COVID-19.
Observational study in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 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
Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) and hemodialysis (HD) patients are highly vulnerable to COVID-19. The degree of protection after mRNA vaccination remains uncertain. Observational, prospective cohort (non-probability convenience sample) of adults under care in a Ramón y Cajal University Hospital (29 Feb 2020-30 May 2022) who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Outcomes were ≥1 COVID-19-related hospitalization and ≥1 ICU admission. We fitted multivariable logistic regression models (reporting odds ratios [OR] with 95% CIs) adjusted for age (years, linear), sex, and number of vaccine doses (0-4); vaccination was summarized as cumulative doses. IPTW was estimated for baseline diagnostics only; negative-binomial models were used as sensitivity analyses. Calendar time/variant epochs were not included. No patient received passive immunization. 810 patients were analysed (KTR = 679; HD = 131). Adjusted odds of hospitalisation were not significantly different between KTR and HD (OR:1.19; 95%CI:0.70-2.01). For ICU admission, the KTR vs HD estimate was imprecise due to very few events (OR:5.48; 95%CI:0.70-43.09). Age increased hospitalisation odds (OR per year:1.02; 95%CI:1.01-1.04). A dose-response pattern was observed: for hospitalisation, the third dose was associated with lower odds (OR:0.40; 95%CI:0.17-0.97) and the fourth dose showed a borderline reduction (OR:0.43; 95%CI:0.18-1.06); for ICU admission, third and fourth doses were associated with markedly lower odds (OR:0.15; 95%CI:0.04-0.54, OR:0.12; 95%CI:0.03-0.47). We found no clear differences between KTR and HD in the odds of COVID-19-related hospitalisation or ICU admission after vaccination. Findings support active surveillance and booster-focused immunisation in both groups. Although passive immunisation was not evaluated, current recommendations suggest selected patients may benefit from it when available.
