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

backgroundThe role of machine perfusion after kidney transplantation (KT) in extended criteria donors (ECD) is unclear, and the current evidence in the literature remains controversial.

methodsWe present an open-label single center randomized trial where 109 patients undergoing KT with ECD grafts between January 2019 and December 2022 were randomized to receive kidneys treated with either hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE, n = 54) or static cold storage (SCS, n = 55) alone. The primary endpoint was the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF). The secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and graft function and survival in the first year after KT.

resultsThe trial failed to meet its primary endpoint. DGF developed in 31 (57%) and 37 (67%) patients in the HOPE and SCS groups, respectively (p = 0.3). Posthoc analysis showed that HOPE was associated with a lower risk for DGF for grafts from donors aged 60 years or older (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.12-0.87, p = 0.026) and in patients undergoing dual KTs (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.87, p = 0.031).

conclusionsHOPE does not reduce the rate of DGF after KT in ECD donors. However, HOPE appears to be associated with better outcomes in the case of older donors and dual KTs.
