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

Background: Late or chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) associated with Methods: We designed a novel regimen that included early intensive therapy with daratumumab plus plasmapheresis (PP)/intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) and later maintenance therapy with daratumumab alone, and used this regimen to treat late or chronic active AMR in two kidney transplant recipients with extremely high levels of anti-DQ7 dnDSA. Results: Both patients had a limited clinical response to the early treatment with rituximab and PP/IVIG (with or without splenic irradiation); however, they had a remarkable decrease in anti-DQ7 DSA (MFI value from ~20,000 to ~5,000) after 2-3 months of intensive therapy with daratumumab plus PP/IVIG. Over 20 months of follow-up, patient 1 maintained a low DSA (as low as 1,572) and normal renal function on daratumumab maintenance therapy. Patient 2 retained a low DSA and improved renal function and pathological lesions within one year after treatment but then deteriorated because of acute T cell-mediated rejection. Conclusions: Our daratumumab-based regimen has shown promising results in the treatment of refractory late active or chronic active AMR in renal transplant recipients with high-level dnDSA. This may provide a reference for better use of daratumumab in the treatment of late or chronic active AMR.
