Outcome after renal transplantation utilizing octogenarian donors- retrospective single-center analysis within the Eurotransplant region.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundA severe shortage of donors and organs remains the primary challenge in modern transplantation medicine. For kidney transplantation, prolonged time on the waiting list increases morbidity and mortality, particularly among elderly patients. Dedicated allocation initiatives, such as the Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP), were established to shorten waiting times, and previous age limits for organ acceptance were raised to expand the donor pool for this specific patient population.
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated all patients who received a kidney graft from an octogenarian donor between January 2006 and September 2023. Key outcomes assessed included patient survival, graft survival, and graft function.
resultsA total of 71 kidney transplantations were included. Primary non-function occurred in five patients, and nine patients experienced delayed graft function. The 5-year recipient survival rate was 68.8%, and the 5-year death-censored graft survival rate was 65.3%. Graft function, assessed via median serum creatinine levels, remained stable throughout the follow-up period, although median creatinine values did not return to the normal range.
conclusionsFollowing meticulous donor selection, allocating kidney grafts from donors aged 80 years or older represents a viable strategy to expand the donor pool for ESP patients.
