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

Non-US citizens often face financial barriers to receiving organ transplants in the US but less is known about their contributions as donors. We assessed participation of non-US citizens as kidney donors and the vulnerabilities that non-US citizens and their communities accept in order to donate. Using United Network for Organ Sharing and Organ Procurement and Transplant Network data (UNOS/OPTN), we performed cross-sectional analysis of 2,423 kidney living donors (LDs) and 8,965 deceased donors (DDs) in UNOS Region 11 between 2018 and 2022. Non-US citizens comprised 2.4% of LDs. Compared to US citizen LDs, non-US citizen LDs had 13.0 times the odds of lacking health insurance (95% CI 7.5, 22.7). Non-US citizens comprised 1.2% of DDs. Among DDs, 73.6% of non-US citizens lacked written documentation of donor intent, versus 41.2% of US citizens (X
