Determinants and Outcomes of Accelerated Arteriosclerosis: Major Impact of Circulating Antibodies.
Observational study in Circulation research, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
rationaleThe role of circulating antibodies in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors in the development of accelerated arteriosclerosis and their long-term clinical consequences have not been demonstrated.
objectiveWe investigated the role of circulating antibodies in accelerated arteriosclerosis and the role of immune-associated arteriosclerosis in graft and patient survival and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events. METHODS AND
resultsThis was an observational prospective cohort study that included 1065 kidney transplant patients (principal cohort, n=744; validation cohort, n=321) between 2004 and 2010. Participants were assessed for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and circulating anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies. All patients underwent allograft biopsies to assess arteriosclerotic lesions and endothelial activation, endarteritis, and complement deposition. In the principal cohort, 250 (33.6%) patients had severe arteriosclerosis (luminal narrowing >25% via fibrointimal arterial thickening). Circulating donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies were significantly associated with severe allograft arteriosclerosis (hazard ratio, 2.9; P<0.0001), independently of traditional risk factors. Patients with severe arteriosclerosis and anti-HLA antibodies (n=91, 12.2%) demonstrated allograft endothelial activation, endarteritis, and complement deposition. High levels of anti-HLA antibodies and their complement binding capacity were associated with increased severity of arteriosclerosis. Patients with antibody-associated severe arteriosclerosis had decreased allograft survival and increased mortality (P<0.0001); they exhibited a 2.5- and 4.1-fold increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events compared with patients who had severe arteriosclerosis without antibodies and patients with minimal arteriosclerosis, respectively (P<0.0005). Circulating donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies were significantly associated with occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (hazard ratio, 2.4; P=0.0004), independently of traditional risk factors.
conclusionsCirculating antibodies are major determinants of severe arteriosclerosis and major adverse cardiovascular events, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
