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

Background and Aims: Long-term kidney transplant survival is a critical challenge in nephrology, which might be influenced by a myriad of recipient, donor, and post-transplant factors. Despite advancements in medical care, some issues, like transplant rejection and comorbidities, continue to hinder progress. This scoping review aimed to identify predictors of long-term kidney transplant survival. Methods: Following Arksey and O'Malley's framework, this scoping review analyzed studies published between 2014 and 2025 across seven databases. Studies addressing recipient-, donor-, and post-transplant factors as predictors of long-term kidney transplant survival were included. The findings were categorized by timeframes and predicting factors, and finally, synthesized descriptively. Results: Overall, 37 studies were included. Key predictors of long-term survival included recipient-related factors such as age, BMI, comorbidities, and serum creatinine levels. Donor-related factors like age, HLA mismatches, and kidney quality also emerged as significant contributors. Post-transplant factors, including acute rejection episodes, use of immunosuppressive drugs, and hospital readmissions, were strongly associated with graft outcomes. Conclusion: This review highlighted the multifaceted predictors of long-term kidney transplant survival, emphasizing the need for personalized management strategies. Tailored interventions targeting high-risk patients and enhanced donor selection protocols are vital for improving outcomes. Future research should focus on examining predictive algorithms to predict transplant survival.
