Hope for kidney transplantation in candidates with human immunodeficiency virus.
Review in World journal of transplantation, 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
Kidney transplantation continues to be the kidney replacement therapy of choice for patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) associated with a survival benefit over remaining on dialysis. Patients living with both ESKD and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have traditionally faced barriers accessing the kidney transplant (KT) waiting list given need for special considerations in addition to general listing requirements for KT candidates. The HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act in 2013 and HOPE Act Variance in 2015 restricted HIV positive donor (+D) to HIV positive recipient (+R) transplants to research protocols or Institutional Review Board approved programs. Federal regulatory changes in 2024-2025 removed the above restrictions making HIV +D to HIV +R KTs standard of care practice for approved centers. Removal of the research criteria requirements in alignment with federal regulatory changes will likely expand access so that more individuals living with HIV can obtain a KT. Herein we will provide a narrative review of the available literature in the PubMed database on studies completed under the HOPE act as well as the special considerations in evaluating HIV positive renal transplant candidates and their subsequent post-transplant care to help ensure clinician and patient comfort in this era.
