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

backgroundCXCL10 (IP-10) is a potent chemoattractant for T cells that has been postulated to play a role in infection and acute cellular rejection (ACR) in animal models. We measured CXCL10 (IP-10) (and other cytokines previously implicated in the pathogenesis of ACR) in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of lung transplant recipients (LTRs) to determine the association between CXCL10 (IP-10) and ACR in LTRs.

methodsIn a prospective study of 85 LTRs, expression of cytokines (tumor necrosis factor, interferon-γ, interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17, CXCL10 [IP-10], and MCP-1 [CCL2]) in BAL samples (n=233) from patients with episodes of ACR (n=44), infection ("Infect"; n=25), concomitant "Infect+ACR" (n=10), and "No Infect and No ACR" (n=154) were analyzed.

resultsThe levels of both CXCL10 (IP-10) and IL-16 were significantly increased in histologically proven ACR compared with the "No Infect and No ACR" group (CXCL10 [IP-10]: 107.0 vs. 31.9 pg/mL [P=0.001] and IL-16: 472.1 vs. 283.01 pg/mL [P=0.01]). However, in a linear mixed-effects model, significant association was found only between CXCL10 (IP-10) and ACR. A one-log increase of CXCL10 (IP-10) was associated with a 40% higher risk of ACR (odds ratio, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.84).

conclusionHigher values of CXCL10 (IP-10) in BAL fluid are associated with ACR in LTRs, suggesting a potential mechanistic role in the pathogenesis of ACR in LTRs. These results suggest that therapeutic strategies to inhibit CXCL10 (IP-10) and or its cognate receptor, CXCR3, warrant investigation to prevent and/or treat ACR in clinical lung transplantation.
