Do Perioperative Surgical Factors Affect Early Graft Function in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation?
Article in Pediatric transplantation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEarly graft function after pediatric kidney transplantation (KT) may be influenced by perioperative hemodynamic and fluid management variables. However, previous studies have yielded conflicting results. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of perioperative factors on early graft function in pediatric KT recipients.
methodsThis retrospective multicenter study included pediatric KT recipients from four academic centers in Turkiye and France. Early graft function was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at postoperative day 7 and day 30. Delayed graft function (DGF) was defined as the need for dialysis within the first 7 days post-transplant. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was calculated where reperfusion blood pressure data were available, and a sensitivity analysis accounting for transplant center was performed. Associations between perioperative variables and outcomes were evaluated using univariate and multivariate regression analyses.
resultsNinety-seven patients were included (median age 154 months; 45.4% female). DGF occurred in 11.3% of recipients. In multivariate analysis, no perioperative variable was independently associated with DGF. Longer cold ischemia time was independently associated with lower 7-day eGFR (B = -0.05; 95% CI -0.10 to -0.01; p = 0.014). At 30 days, preemptive transplantation (B = -15.99; 95% CI -27.02 to -4.96; p = 0.005) and DGF (B = -36.94; 95% CI -58.39 to -15.50; p = 0.001) were independently associated with lower eGFR; the preemptive association was attenuated after accounting for transplant center.
conclusionIntraoperative hemodynamic parameters were not independently associated with DGF or early graft function. At day 7, early graft function was primarily associated with cold ischemia time, whereas at day 30 it was mainly associated with preemptive transplantation status and DGF.
