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 acute phase cytokines IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha are produced early during inflammatory processes, including ischemia-reperfusion. The appearance and role of these cytokines in the early inflammation following reperfusion of grafts remain poorly defined. This study investigated the role of TNFalpha in the induction of early leukocyte infiltration into vascularized heart allografts. TNFalpha and IL-6 mRNA levels reached an initial peak 3 h posttransplant and a second peak at 9-12 h with equivalent levels in iso- and allografts. A single dose of anti-TNFalpha mAb given at reperfusion decreased neutrophil and macrophage chemoattractant levels and early neutrophil, macrophage and memory CD8 T-cell infiltration into allografts. Anti-TNFalpha mAb also extended graft survival from 8.6+/-0.6 days to 14.1+/-0.8 days. When assessed on day 7 posttransplant, the number of donor-reactive CD8 T cells producing IFN-gamma in the spleen was reduced almost 70% in recipients treated with anti-TNFalpha mAb. Whereas anti-CD154 mAb prolonged survival to day 21, administration of anti-TNFalpha and anti-CD154 mAb delayed rejection to day 32 and resulted in long-term (>80 days) survival of 40% of the heart allografts. These data implicate TNFalpha as an important mediator of early inflammatory events in allografts that undermine graft survival.
