Factors that preclude the conclusion of a kidney transplant protocol from a living donor.

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
introductionA kidney transplant (KT) is a renal replacement therapy that offers greater survival and quality of life; however, it is not always successfully completed due to social, physical, medical, immunological factors, or lack of adherence.
methodsThis retrospective, analytical, longitudinal study included patients in the KT protocol from a living donor between May 2021 and November 2022. Factors preventing completion were evaluated. Comparative analyses and cumulative incidence curves were used to assess time to protocol completion or discontinuation. The analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 26 (IBM Corp., USA).
resultsAmong 240 donor-recipient pairs, 116 (48.3%) successfully completed KT, whereas 124 (51.6%) did not. Reasons for non-completion included medical causes (59/124; 47.6%), immunological incompatibility (28/124; 22.6%), psychosocial factors (14/124; 11.3%), and other causes (23/124; 18.5%). The median time to protocol acceptance or discontinuation was 151 days (IQR 115-186). Among individuals who ultimately underwent KT, the median completion time was also 151 days (IQR 109-231).
conclusionsMedical conditions were the predominant barriers to completing living-donor KT protocols, followed by immunologic and psychosocial factors. Streamlining medical assessments, implementing early immunologic screening, and reinforcing psychosocial support may enhance protocol completion rates.
