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

Interaction between C5a, a product of complement activation, and its receptor (C5aR) upregulates antigen-specific T cell responses by modulating the activation of antigen-presenting cells and T cells. Whether this C5a-C5aR interaction contributes to the immune responses that promote renal allograft rejection is unknown. Here, we found that deficiency of C5aR in both graft and recipient reduced allospecific T cell responses and prolonged renal allograft survival. In addition, lack of C5aR impaired the function of donor and recipient antigen-presenting cells and inhibited the response of recipient T cells to allostimulation. Furthermore, deficiency of C5aR in both graft and recipient reduced early inflammation in the grafts, with less cellular infiltration around the vessels and fewer F4/80 positive cells in the peritubular interstitium. These data demonstrate that C5aR is critical for a full adaptive immune response and mediates renal allograft rejection. Engagement of C5aR on dendritic cells and T cells modulates their function, enhancing allospecific T cell responses that lead to allograft rejection. Targeting C5a signaling may have therapeutic potential for T cell-mediated graft rejection.
