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

backgroundAlthough induction of durable mixed chimerism is required for murine skin allograft tolerance (TOL), renal allograft TOL has been achieved after induction of only transient mixed chimerism in nonhuman primates (NHPs) and humans. To better define the level/duration of chimerism required for stable renal allograft TOL, we retrospectively analyzed these parameters and compared them with transplant outcomes in NHP combined kidney and bone marrow transplant recipients.

methodsPeripheral blood levels and duration of myeloid or lymphoid chimerism were retrospectively analyzed in 34 NHP combined kidney and bone marrow transplantation recipients which were divided into 3 groups: TOL, n = 10; chronic antibody-mediated rejection (CAMR), n = 12; and T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR), n = 12.

resultsAll 4 of the recipients that failed to develop any chimerism lost their allografts due to TCMR after discontinuation of immunosuppression (56 ± 3 d). Among 30 recipients who successfully developed multilineage chimerism, 10 achieved long-term immunosuppression-free survival without rejection (1258 ± 388 d), 12 eventually developed CAMR (932 ± 155 d), and 8 developed TCMR (82 ± 10 d). The maximum level but not duration of lymphoid chimerism was significantly higher in TOL recipients compared with both CAMR (P = 0.0159) and TCMR (P = 0.0074). On the other hand, the maximum myeloid chimerism was significantly higher in TOL than in TCMR (P = 0.0469), but not in CAMR. Receiver operating characteristic analyses revealed that lymphoid chimerism levels of 3.1% or greater could reliably predict long-term immunosuppression-free renal allograft survival (P < 0.0001).

conclusionsThis retrospective study confirmed that induction of chimerism is essential for long-term immunosuppression-free survival, which best correlates with lymphoid chimerism levels higher than 3.1%.
