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

Objective: Recently, circulating donor-derive cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has gained growing attention in the field of solid organ transplantation. The aim of the study was to analyze circulating dd-cfDNA levels in graft rejection, ACR and AMR separately for each rejection type compared with non-rejection, and assessed the diagnostic potential of dd-cfDNA levels in predicting graft rejection after lung transplantation. Methods: A systematic search for relevant articles was conducted on Medline, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases without restriction of languages. The search date ended on June 1, 2023. STATA software was used to analyze the difference between graft rejection, ACR, AMR and stable controls, and evaluate the diagnostic performance of circulating dd-cfDNA in detecting graft rejection. Results: The results indicated that circulating dd-cfDNA levels in graft rejection, ACR, and AMR were significantly higher than non-rejection (graft rejection: SMD=1.78, 95% CI: 1.31-2.25, Conclusion: Circulating dd-cfDNA could be used as a non-invasive biomarker to distinguish the patients with graft rejection from normal stable controls.
