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

We have performed selective plasma exchange (SePE) as apheresis before ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation since 2015. In this study, we divided the SePE sessions into two groups, those using albumin alone (Group A) and those partially using fresh frozen plasma (FFP) (Group F), and compared their clinical efficacies. A total of 58 sessions of SePE (Group A: n = 41, Group F: n = 17) were performed in 30 recipients of ABOi kidney transplantation during the study period and the decrease in isoagglutinin titers, changes in the levels of serum IgG and IgM as well as coagulation factors (fibrinogen, factor XIII), and incidence of side effects were retrospectively compared. There was a more significant decrease of isoagglutinin titers in Group F compared to Group A. Immunoglobulins and coagulants were replenished in Group F. Meanwhile, the incidence of side effects was significantly higher in Group F. SePE using FFP, which can effectively decrease isoagglutinins titers and replenish immunoglobulin and coagulation factors, may be a beneficial treatment modality as apheresis before ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation, in spite of a disadvantage that there are many side effects.
