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

Black Americans experience end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) at a disproportionately higher rate than other racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Kidney transplantation provides the best outcomes for patients with ESKD. However, Black patients frequently have decreased access to kidney transplantation. This article summarizes the robust literature on disparities in transplantation for Black patients and presents a practical solution to this complex issue by redesigning the transplant access process for Black patients challenged by structural and institutional barriers. The authors provide a detailed overview of a novel African American Transplant Access Program (AATAP) with its pillars of cultural congruency, trust, health literacy, and psychosocial support. This overview includes a thorough description of the program's conceptualization, the process of creating the program, the preliminary results, and guidance to establish similarly culturally congruent transplant access programs.
