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

T lymphocytes are the primary targets of immunotherapy in clinical transplantation; however, B lymphocytes and their secreted alloantibodies are also highly detrimental to the allograft. Therefore, the achievement of sustained organ transplant survival will likely require the induction of B-lymphocyte tolerance. During development, acquisition of B-cell tolerance to self-antigens relies on clonal deletion in the early stages of B-cell compartment ontogeny. We contend that this mechanism should be recapitulated in the setting of alloantigens and organ transplantation to eliminate the alloreactive B-cell subset from the recipient. Clinically feasible targets of B-cell-directed immunotherapy, such as CD20 and B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS), should drive upcoming clinical trials aimed at remodeling the recipient B-cell repertoire.
