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

Inflammatory reactions in the graft have a pivotal influence on acute as well as long-term graft function. The main reasons for an inflammatory reaction of the graft tissue are rejection episodes, infections as well as ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The latter is of particular interest as it affects every solid organ during the process of transplantation. I/R injury impairs acute as well as long-term graft function and is associated with an increased number of acute rejection episodes that again affect long-term graft outcome.I/R injury is the result of ATP depletion during prolonged hypoxia. Further tissue damage results from the reperfusion of the tissue after the ischemic insult. Adaptive cellular responses activate the innate immune system with its Toll-like receptors and the complement system as well as the adaptive immune system. This results in a profound inflammatory tissue reaction with immune cells infiltrating the tissue. The damage is mediated by various cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, and compounds of the extracellular matrix. The expression of these factors is regulated by specific transcription factors with NF-kappaB being one of the key modulators of inflammation.Strategies to prevent or treat I/R injury include blockade of cytokines/chemokines, adhesion molecules, NF-kappaB, specific MAP kinases, metalloproteinases, induction of protective genes, and modulation of the innate immune system. Furthermore, preconditioning of the donor is an area of intense research. Here pharmacological treatment as well as new additives to conventional cold storage solutions have been analyzed together with new techniques for the perfusion of grafts, or methods of normothermic storage that would avoid the problem of cold damage and graft ischemia.However, the number of clinical trials in the field of I/R injury is limited as compared to the large body of experimental knowledge that accumulated during recent years in the field of I/R injury. Future activities in the treatment of I/R injury should focus on the translation of experimental protocols into clinical trials in order to reduce I/R injury and, thus, improve short- as well as long-term graft outcome.
