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

Patients developing posttransplant antibodies against HLA and non-HLA antigens expressed by the endothelium of the graft undergo more frequent episodes of rejection and have decreased long-term graft survival. Antibodies against the endothelium can alter/damage the cells of the graft through several mechanisms. Historically, antibodies were thought to elicit endothelial cell injury via complement-dependent mechanisms. New research has shown that antibodies can also contribute to the process of transplant rejection by stimulating proinflammatory and proproliferation signals. Antibody ligation leads to several functional alterations in EC including Weibel Palade body exocytosis, leukocyte recruitment, growth factor expression and cell proliferation. In contrast, under certain circumstances, antibodies may induce prosurvival signals and graft accommodation. The signaling events regulating accommodation vs. rejection appear to be influenced by the specificity and concentration of the anti-HLA antibody and the degree of molecular aggregation. Knowledge of the HLA and non-HLA antibody-mediated signaling pathways has the potential to identify new therapeutic targets to promote accommodation and prevent acute and chronic antibody-mediated rejection.
