Do we Treat the Right Patients? Predictors of Psychosocial Treatment Frequencies in a Multimodal Aftercare Program: A KTx360° Substudy.

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
Background: Psychosocial interventions are essential in multimodal aftercare for kidney transplant recipients. However, it remains unclear whether they effectively reach patients with low adherence or elevated mental distress. Methods: We investigated (1) the frequency of suboptimal adherence and mental distress at any point during the aftercare program Kidney Transplantation 360° study (KTx360°), a multicenter, multisectoral, multimodal, telemedicine-based follow-up care model; (2) the rate of psychosocial intervention utilization, and (3) the association between these factors, along with demographic and clinical characteristics, and intervention uptake. This analysis draws on a sample of n = 838 participants. Participants with and without utilization of psychosocial interventions were compared using chi-square tests and Mann-Whitney Results: Suboptimal adherence and mental distress were frequently observed in our cohort, affecting 60.6% (n = 508) of participants at some point during the study. Utilization remained limited, with only 27.6% (n = 140) of affected individuals engaging with them. Still, higher levels of suboptimal adherence (ß = 0.48; Conclusions: Even though suboptimal adherence and increased mental distress were associated with a higher utilization of psychosocial intervention, the majority of affected patients were not reached, highlighting a significant gap between need and access. Understanding patterns of utilization is crucial when designing scalable and feasible psychosocial interventions for transplant recipients.
