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 reviewAntibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), especially in its chronic manifestation, is increasingly recognized as a leading cause of late graft loss following solid organ transplantation. In recent years, autoantibodies have emerged as a significant component of the humoral response to allografts alongside anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies. These include polyreactive antibodies also known as natural antibodies (Nabs) secreted by innate B cells. A hallmark of Nabs is their capacity to bind altered self such as oxidized lipids on apoptotic cells. This review provides an overview of these overlooked antibodies and their implication in the pathophysiology of ABMR. RECENT

findingsNew evidence reported in the past few years support a contribution of immunoglobulin (Ig) G Nabs to ABMR. Serum IgG Nabs levels are significantly higher in patients with ABMR compared with control kidney transplant recipients with stable graft function. Pretransplant IgG Nabs are also associated with ABMR and late graft loss. IgG Nabs are almost exclusively of the IgG1 and IgG3 subclasses and have the capacity to activate complement. SUMMARY: In conclusion, Nabs are important elements in host immune responses to solid organ grafts. The recent description of their implication in ABMR and late kidney graft loss warrants further investigation into their pathogenic potential.
