Social Risk Factors and Kidney Transplant Waitlisting Among Patients Receiving Dialysis: A National Cohort Study.
Article in Kidney medicine, 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: Social risk factors (SRFs) include potentially intervenable individual-level social and economic conditions that impact health. Limited data exist on the prevalence of SRFs and their impact on transplantation among individuals receiving dialysis. Study Design: A cross-sectional cohort study. Exposures: The SRF data (housing, food security, utilities, transportation & personal safety) were collected from maintenance dialysis patients at Dialysis Clinic, Inc. from May 2023 to March 2025 using questions from the Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool. Outcome: Most recent transplant status, defined as neither being waitlisted nor having received a transplant through March 2025. Analytical Approach: A total SRF burden score was assigned to each patient, categorized as screening positive for none (0), one (1), or more than one (>1) SRF. We evaluated the association of SRF burden score and transplant status using logistic regression. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, dialysis vintage, modality, clinic location, financial status, insurance coverage, and comorbid conditions. Supplementary analyses examined the association between each SRF domain and the outcome. Results: Among 12,994 patients with SRF data, 1,360 (10.5%) had a score of 1 and 445 (3.4%) had a score of >1. In an adjusted model, having one or more SRF was associated with increased odds of not being transplanted or waitlisted for transplant (odds ratio 1.19 [0.99-1.43] and 1.65 [1.14-2.38] for 1 and >1 SRF). Other associated SRFs included being financially uncomfortable (1.54 [1.33-1.78]) and dialyzing in a rural clinic (1.26 [1.11-1.44]). In supplementary analyses, transportation insecurity (2.59 [1.74, 3.87]) had the strongest association with the outcome. Limitations: Residual confounding and exposure misclassification. Conclusions: In a national cohort of maintenance dialysis patients, more than 10% had one or more SRF; this was associated with increased odds of not being transplanted or actively waitlisted. Addressing SRFs, including transportation barriers, may improve access to kidney transplants.
