Gene signatures common to allograft rejection are associated with lymphocytic bronchitis.
Article in Clinical transplantation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Lymphocytic bronchitis (LB) precedes chronic lung allograft dysfunction. The relationships of LB (classified here as Endobronchial or E-grade rejection) to small airway (A- and B-grade) pathologies are unclear. We hypothesized that gene signatures common to allograft rejection would be present in LB. We studied LB in two partially overlapping lung transplant recipient cohorts: Cohort 1 included large airway brushes (6 LB cases and 18 post-transplant referents). Differential expression using DESeq2 was used for pathway analysis and to define an LB-associated metagene. In Cohort 2, eight biopsies for each pathology subtype were matched with pathology-free biopsies from the same subject (totaling 48 samples from 24 subjects). These biopsies were analyzed by multiplexed digital counting of immune transcripts. Metagene score differences were compared by paired t tests. Compared to referents in Cohort 1, LB demonstrated upregulation of allograft rejection pathways, and upregulated genes in these cases characterized an LB-associated metagene. We observed statistically increased expression in Cohort 2 for this LB-associated metagene and four other established allograft rejection metagenes in rejection vs paired non-rejection biopsies for both E-grade and A-grade subtypes, but not B-grade pathology. Gene expression-based categorization of allograft rejection may prove useful in monitoring lung allograft health.
