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

purpose of reviewDespite considerable advances in controlling acute rejection, the longevity of cardiac and renal allografts remains significantly limited by chronic rejection in the form of allograft vasculopathy. This review discusses recently reported mechanistic insights of allograft vasculopathy pathogenesis as well as recent clinical evaluations of new therapeutic approaches. RECENT

findingsAlthough adaptive immunity is the major driver of allograft vasculopathy, natural killer cells mediate vasculopathic changes in a transplanted mouse heart following treatment with donor-specific antibody (DSA). However, natural killer cells may also dampen chronic inflammatory responses by killing donor-derived tissue-resident CD4 T cells that provide help to host B cells, the source of DSA. DSA may directly contribute to vascular inflammation by inducing intracellular signaling cascades that upregulate leukocyte adhesion molecules, facilitating recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes. DSA-mediated complement activation additionally enhances endothelial alloimmunogenicity through activation of noncanonical NF-κB signaling. New clinical studies evaluating mammalian target of rapamycin and proteasome inhibitors to target these pathways have been reported. SUMMARY: Allograft vasculopathy is a disorder resulting from several innate and adaptive alloimmune responses. Mechanistic insights from preclinical studies have identified agents that are currently being investigated in clinical trials.
