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

backgroundDeceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) remains underutilized in India due to organ shortage. Understanding determinants of transplant outcomes such as delayed graft function (DGF), graft survival and patient survival is essential to optimize patients and wisely allocate organs to best deserving patients.

aimTo identify donor, recipient and peri-transplant determinants of DGF, graft and patient survival in DDKT.

methodsThis is an ambispective cohort study for patients transplanted between January 2017 and September 2024. Primary outcome was incidence of DGF and predicting factors. Secondary outcomes were graft and patient survival. Logistic regression was used to analyse predicting factors for DGF and cox proportional hazards model was used to assess factors for graft and patient survival.

resultsAmong 62 DDKT, DGF occurred in 35.5% of DDKT recipients. While 6 factors affected DGF, only high recipient body mass index and high donor terminal serum creatinine were independent predictors of DGF. Over a median follow up of 32 months, 4 patients returned to maintenance haemodialysis and 11 patients died with functioning grafts with most events occurring within first year of transplant. Graft survival was 85.2% at 1 year and 68.2% at 4 years, while patient survival was 90.2% and 75.5%, respectively. Recipient age and kidney donor risk index (KDRI) were associated with graft loss. No factor affected mortality.

conclusionThese findings highlight the importance of comprehensive donor and recipient assessment along with using KDRI or a new prediction tool for organ allocation in India. Larger multicentric studies from India are needed to further refine risk prediction models in DDKT.
