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

Transplantation tolerance is a state of immune unresponsiveness (or benign responsiveness) to the presence of specific, nonself antigens in the absence of chronic immunosuppressive therapy. Renal transplant tolerance remains a desired yet generally unattained goal that would enable transplantation to be performed without the risk of graft rejection or the need for broadly immunosuppressive drugs, which can have toxic effects. Studies published in the past few years have provided evidence that B cells have an important role in both graft rejection and transplantation tolerance. Indeed, antibody-dependent and antibody-independent functions of B cells account for both tolerogenic and rejection-promoting immune responses in transplant recipients. This Review comprises a discussion of the mechanisms involved in the induction of B-cell tolerance and a survey of current and emerging therapies that target the effects of B cells in transplant recipients.
