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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesAlloimmunization is common following transfusion with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and can cause complications such as platelet refractoriness or transplant rejection. It has previously been shown that pathogen reduction of PRP with riboflavin and UV light (UV+R) can protect against alloimmunization in mice and induce partial tolerance to subsequent transfusions. MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing B6 H2

resultsBoth total and MHC-specific alloantibody responses were highest when both MHC and minor antigens were mismatched, with lower alloantibody responses observed with MHC mismatch alone, demonstrating that allogeneic minor antigens can enhance the response to allogeneic MHC. There was a weak, but significant alloantibody response to minor antigens only. UV+R treatment protected against both major and minor antigen alloimmunization. Both allogeneic MHC and minor antigens primed an enhanced cytokine response ex vivo, though this was weaker with minor antigens, and both responses were blocked with UV+R treatment.

conclusionAllogeneic MHC is both necessary and sufficient to induce the partial tolerance associated with UV+R treatment.
