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

The blockade of the CD154-CD40 pathway with anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody has been a promising immunomodulatory approach to prevent allograft rejection. However, clinical trials of immunoglobulin G1 antibodies targeting this pathway revealed thrombogenic properties, which were subsequently shown to be mediated by crystallizable fragment (Fc)-gamma receptor IIa-dependent platelet activation. To prevent thromboembolic complications, an immunoglobulin G4 anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody, TNX-1500, which retains the fragment antigen binding region of ruplizumab (humanized 5c8, BG9588), was modified by protein engineering to decrease Fc binding to Fc-gamma receptor IIa while retaining certain other effector functions and pharmacokinetics comparable with natural antibodies. Here, we report that TNX-1500 treatment is not associated with platelet activation in vitro and consistently inhibits kidney allograft rejection in vivo without clinical or histologic evidence of prothrombotic phenomena. We conclude that TNX-1500 retains efficacy similar to that of 5c8 to prevent kidney allograft rejection while avoiding previously identified pathway-associated thromboembolic complications.
