Review in Springer seminars in immunopathology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.

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

The complement system is known for its ability to participate in non-specific inflammation and membrane injury as well as contributing to antigen-specific immune stimulation. In renal transplantation, the complement cascade behaves true to form in that both non-immune- and immune-mediated destruction of the renal tubules are complement dependent. What is remarkable, however, is the extent of involvement of local synthesis of complement in both of these injuries, suggesting that the extravascular tissue compartment is the domain of local synthesis, whereas the effect of circulating complement is much less. This creates a new paradigm for studying the influence of local synthesis of complement in other organ-based diseases and underlines the need for tissue-targeting strategies in successful therapeutic development.
