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

Blockade of the CD40/CD154 T cell costimulation pathway is a promising approach to supplement or replace current clinical immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation. We evaluated the tolerability and activity of a novel humanized anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody, TNX-1500 (TNX), in a nonhuman primate heterotopic cardiac allogeneic (allo) transplant model. TNX-1500 contains a rupluzimab fragment antigen-binding region and an immunoglobin G4 crystallizable fragment region engineered to reduce binding to the crystallizable fragment gamma receptor IIa and associated risks of thrombosis. Recipients were treated for 6 months with standard-dose TNX (sTNX) monotherapy, low-dose TNX monotherapy (loTNX), or loTNX with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (loTNX + MMF). Results were compared with historical data using chimeric humanized 5c8 monotherapy dosed as for loTNX but discontinued at 3 months. Median survival time was similar for humanized 5c8 and both loTNX groups, but significantly longer with sTNX (>265 days) than with loTNX (99 days) or loTNX + MMF (88 days) (P < 0.05 for both comparisons against sTNX). Standard-dose TNX prevented antidonor alloantibody elaboration, inhibited chronic rejection, and was associated with a significantly reduced effector T cells/regulatory T cells ratio relative to loTNX with MMF. No thrombotic complications were observed. This study demonstrated that TNX was well tolerated, prolongs allograft survival, and prevents alloantibody production and cardiac allograft vasculopathy in a stringent preclinical nonhuman primate heart allotransplant model.
