Clinical significance of CD161+CD4+ T cells in the development of chronic antibody-mediated rejection in kidney transplant recipients.
Trial report in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In this study, we investigated whether CD161+CD4+ T cells can reflect the Th17 pathway in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and investigated the clinical significance of this cell type in chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) in KT. First, we investigated the relationship between CD161+CD4+ T and Th17 cells by flow cytometry and microarray analysis in an in vitro study. Second, we compared the proportion of T cell subsets including CD161+CD4+ T cells in cAMR (n = 18), long-term graft survival (LTGS) (n = 46), and interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IF/TA) (n = 22). We compared CD161+ cell infiltration between cAMR and IF/TA and also examined the effect of CD161+ T cells on human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HRPTEpiC). In flow cytometry, the proportion of CD161+CD4+ T cells showed a significant correlation with the proportion of Th17 cells. In microarray analysis, transcripts associated with the Th17 pathway such as IL18RAP, IL-18R1, IL23R, IL12RB2, RORC, TBX21, and EOMES were upregulated in CD161+ cells compared with CD161- cells. In an ex vivo study, only CD161+CD4+ T cells showed a significant increase in the cAMR group compared with IF/TA and LTGS groups. In allograft tissue, CD161+ cells showed a higher level of infiltration in the cAMR group than the IF/TA group. Lastly, CD161+ T cells increased the production of inflammatory cytokines from HRPTEpiC in a dose-dependent manner. This study suggests that monitoring of CD161+ T cells can be useful to detect the progression of cAMR.
