Kidney Transplantation in Advanced Octogenarians: The World's Oldest Kidney Transplant Recipient.
Article in Canadian journal of kidney health and disease, 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
Rationale: Kidney transplantation (KT) is the treatment of choice for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in all age groups. However, KT in octogenarians is a rare and unique event. We describe the evaluation and clinical course of the world's oldest kidney transplant recipient at 87 years, 262 days, as recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. Presenting Concern of Patient: An 84-year-old Canadian retired real estate agent of Indian origin with ESKD due to diabetic nephropathy on hemodialysis presented to our center as a potential kidney transplant candidate. Comorbidities included hypertension, coronary artery disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and bilateral knee replacements. He was functional, independent, and extremely keen to undergo KT to further improve his quality of life. Diagnosis: Extensive pretransplant investigation revealed a reasonable state of health for all major organ systems. Multiple specialists were consulted prior to listing. Interventions: After 5 years on hemodialysis, he received a standard neurological determination of death donor kidney transplant. Outcomes: Graft function was immediate. Complications experienced in the first posttransplant year included two urinary tract infections-one with bacteremia; uncontrolled blood pressure and blood glucose, cytomegalovirus and BK viremia, and an inferior wall non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. In the second year, he developed a scrotal abscess. However, graft function remained stable with a serum creatinine concentration of 82 µmol/L at two years posttransplant. Teaching Points: Successful KT in advanced octogenarians is possible. Appropriate patient selection is crucial. Extended screening for infection, cardiac and vascular disease, malignancy, and frailty including cognitive deficits is required. Plans for diabetes care and ensuring adequate social support including home care may mitigate complications. Willingness to investigate identified illnesses and seek assistance from other specialists may reduce but not necessarily prevent posttransplant complications. Neurological determination of death donor organs might be preferable for advanced octogenarian KT recipients even if those organs meet expanded criteria.
