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

Graft survival rates after intestinal transplantation (ITx) are still the lowest in comparison to other solid organ transplants. One of the main reasons is the frequent occurrence of acute cellular rejection (ACR). Vedolizumab is an antibody against α4β7

methodsFollowing abdominal wall transplantation (AWTx) and ITx, clinical course was followed biochemically. Sequential small intestinal biopsies were taken preceding, during, and after ACR treatment with vedolizumab, following the standard therapy regime for IBD. Rejection was diagnosed histologically, and proinflammatory (α4β7

resultsACR in both the ITx and AWTx resolved upon vedolizumab treatment, which was safe, evidenced by clearing an astrovirus and primary cytomegalovirus infection. Only a slight reduction of α4β7

conclusionsVedolizumab is a safe treatment option for ACR after ITx but its mechanism is probably not only based on inhibition of gut-selective T-cell homing.
