Immunosuppressive protocols with tacrolimus after cryopreserved aortal allotransplantation in rats.
Article in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
OBJECTIVES AND
designThe aim of our study was to simulate in rats all aspects and techniques used in our new clinical program of cryopreserved alloarterial transplantation and investigate the influence of two immunosuppressive protocols with tacrolimus on acute rejection of these allografts. MATERIALS AND
methodsCryopreserved abdominal aortic grafts were transplanted between Brown-Norway and Lewis rats. Tacrolimus (0.2 mg/kg daily) was administered from day 1 to day 30 (TAC1) or from day 7 to day 30 (TAC7), respectively. No immunosuppressed isogeneic (ISO) and allogeneic (ALO) rats combination served as control. Aortal wall infiltration by immunocompetent cells (MHC II+ cells of recipient origin) was studied on day 30 after transplantation. Flow cytometry was used for the analysis of day 30 sera for the presence of donor specific anti-MHC class I and II antibodies.
resultsThe aortal allografts in both immunosuppressed groups showed regular morphology of aortal wall with no depositions of immunoglobulin G on day 30. The adventitial infiltration of non-immunosuppressed aortal allografts by MHC class II positive cells of recipient origin was significantly higher (ALO 20.7±6.7 cells, P<0.001) compared to both immunosuppressed groups (TAC1 5.9±5.5 cells, TAC7 6.1±5.1 cells). Day 30 sera from the allogeneic non-immunosuppressed animals decreased significantly the binding of fluorescence-labelled MHC class I (46.9±19.4%) and class II (65.8±11.9%) antibody to donors spleen cells compared with day 30 sera from both immunosuppressed groups (TAC1, anti-MHC class I 102.4±4.2%, p < 0.001, anti-MHC class II 102.6±6.0%), (TAC7, anti-MHC class I 79.9±3.3%, p < 0.001, anti-MHC class II 80.9±2.7%).
conclusionBoth immunosuppressed protocols with tacrolimus (administration from day 1 or from day 7 following transplantation) were able to suppress acute cell- and antibody-mediated rejection of cryopreserved abdominal aortic allografts processed in accordance with our new standardized clinical protocol.
