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

Kidney transplantation is the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The waiting time for a deceased donor kidney in the Netherlands is approximately 3 years. Mortality among patients on the waiting list is high. The aim of the PROCARE consortium (PROfiling Consortium on Antibody Repertoire and Effector functions) was to decrease the waiting time by providing a matching algorithm yielding a prolonged graft survival and less HLA-immunization compared with the currently used Eurotransplant Kidney allocation system. In this study, 6097 kidney transplants carried out between January 1995 and December 2005 were re-examined with modern laboratory techniques and insights that were not available during that time period. In this way, we could identify potential new parameters that can be used to improve the matching algorithm and prolong graft survival. All eight University Medical Centers in the Netherlands participated in this multicenter study. To improve the matching algorithm, we used as central hypothesis that the combined presence of class-I and -II single-antigen bead (SAB)-defined donor-specific HLA antibodies (DSA) prior to transplantation, non-HLA antibodies, the number of B- and/or T-cell epitopes recognized on donor HLA, and specific polymorphisms in effector mechanisms of IgG were associated with an increased risk for graft failure. The purpose of this article is to relate the results obtained from the PROCARE consortium study to other studies published in recent years. The clinical relevance of SAB-defined DSA, complement-fixing DSA, non-HLA antibodies, and the effector functions of (non)-HLA-antibodies will be discussed.
