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

We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of the Multidisciplinary Support To Access living donor Kidney Transplant (MuST AKT) intervention, developed to increase living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). In this pilot randomized controlled trial, we randomly assigned transplant candidates to receive standard care or the MuST AKT intervention, where transplant candidates and their social network addressed barriers to LDKT across four 60-90-minute sessions. Feasibility was assessed by consent/recruitment, retention, study protocol adherence, intervention adherence, and intervention engagement. Acceptability was assessed by questionnaire and post-intervention interviews. The recruitment rate was 61% (43/71), with 38 participants randomized 1:1. Among intervention participants, 1 was excluded for not meeting study criteria prior to start. Among those that started (18), 100% completed 1 session, 94% completed 2 sessions, 83% completed 3 sessions, and 56% completed all 4 sessions. The intervention was delivered in 71 days (mean), shorter than anticipated. The intervention participants reported increased confidence for communicating about LDKT from pre-to post-intervention, and all recommended MuST AKT to their peers. Intervention participants and invitees from their social network described a positive experience and provided recommendations for improvement. The MuST AKT intervention is feasible with minor modifications and acceptable to transplant candidates and their social network.
