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

backgroundInterferon-gamma inducible protein-10 (IP-10/CXCL10) is a chemokine involved in the alloimmune response against kidney allograft. We aimed to investigate the association of urinary CXCL10 protein levels with rejection in renal transplant patients.

methodsA total of 273 urine samples from (biopsy-proven) rejection and non-rejection patients and controls were included in this study. CXCL10 levels were analyzed for association with rejection.

resultsThe data showed statistically significant differences in the CXCL10 levels between rejection vs. non-rejection (p < 0.001). Among the rejection groups, statistically significant differences for CXCL10 levels were found between ACR vs. NAD (p < 0.001), ACR vs. BLR (p = 0.019) and AVR vs. NAD (p = 0.009). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of CXCL10 showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.74 with 72% sensitivity and 71% specificity at 27.5 pg/ml between rejection and non-rejection group. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis among different levels of CXCL10 showed a better rejection-free graft survival in patients with <100 pg/ml when compared to >200 pg/ml (38 ± 6 vs. 12 ± 1.0 weeks; log-rank p < 0.001) and 100-200 pg/ml (38 ± 6 vs. 22 ± 9 weeks; log-rank p = 0.442) concentration.

conclusionThe results indicate significantly increased levels of CXCL10 protein in the urine at the time of allograft rejection. This association of urinary CXCL10 protein levels with rejection could provide an additional tool for the non-invasive monitoring of allograft rejection.
