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

The development of sensitive methods for alloantibody detection has been a significant advance in clinical transplantation. However, the complexity of the data from solid phase and crossmatch assays has led to potential confusion about how to use the results for clinical decision making. The goal of this review is to provide a practical guide for transplant physicians for the interpretation of antibody data to supplement consultation with local tissue typing experts. Sources of variability in both the solid phase and crossmatch assay are discussed as are recent data regarding C1q binding antibodies and IgG subclass testing. Although definitive approaches to alloantibody testing are not possible with our current knowledge, we outline a pragmatic approach that we hope will enhance clinical management in this area.
