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

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) has been identified as a significant form of acute allograft dysfunction in lung transplantation. The development of consensus diagnostic criteria has created a uniform definition of AMR; however, significant limitations of these criteria have been identified. Treatment modalities for AMR have been adapted from other areas of medicine and data on the effectiveness of these therapies in AMR are limited. AMR is often refractory to these therapies, and graft failure and death are common. AMR is associated with increased rates of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) and poor long-term survival. In this review, we discuss the history of AMR and describe known mechanisms, application of the consensus diagnostic criteria, data for current treatment strategies, and long-term outcomes. In addition, we highlight current gaps in knowledge, ongoing research, and future directions to address these gaps. Promising diagnostic techniques are actively being investigated that may allow for early detection and treatment of AMR. We conclude that further investigation is required to identify and define chronic and subclinical AMR, and head-to-head comparisons of currently used treatment protocols are necessary to identify an optimal treatment approach. Gaps in knowledge regarding the epidemiology, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of AMR continue to exist and future research should focus on these aspects.
