Construction and validation of a predictive model for the acceptance of kidney xenotransplantation among patients awaiting kidney transplantation: a cross-sectional study from China.

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
backgroundKidney xenotransplantation (KXTx) has the potential to address the shortage of kidney donations. To construct and validate a predictive model for the willingness to receive KXTx, data were collected from Chinese patients awaiting kidney transplantation.
methodsThe data were collected from 539 questionnaires from June 20, 2023, to April 3, 2024. A random allocation method was used to conduct univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis to explore the factors that affect KXTx acceptance. A prediction model was constructed in the form of a nomogram, and the accuracy of the prediction model was evaluated using multiple methods.
resultsThe results of multivariate logistic regression revealed that medical insurance (No vs. Yes, odds ratio [OR] 3.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.52-6.12), religion (no belief as the reference group; Atheist: OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.26-5.33; Buddhism: OR 2.03, 95% CI 0.78-4.89; Taoism: OR 2.33, 95% CI 0.72-6.77; Islam: OR 5.78, 95% CI 1.38-21.10; Catholicism: OR 4.52, 95% CI 0.74-22.7; Christianity: OR 7.69, 95% CI 0.36-66.5; Other: OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.05-5.26), and knowing about KXTx (No vs. Yes, OR 3.39, 95% CI 1.89-6.08) were independent risk factors for KXTx acceptance. A nomogram was constructed based on the abovementioned factors, and the area under the curve was 0.717. The calibration curves decision curve analysis also revealed good performance. Additionally, previous research has shown that KXTx-related risk factors are the primary concern for these patients.
conclusionThis study constructed a predictive model for the acceptance of KXTx among patients awaiting kidney transplantation. This model has significance for studying the acceptance and attitudes of this population.
