Transcriptomic signatures of chronic active antibody-mediated rejection deciphered by RNA sequencing of human kidney allografts.
Article in Kidney international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Natural killer (NK) cells mediate spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. This dual functionality could enable their participation in chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (CA-ABMR). Earlier microarray profiling studies have not subcategorized antibody-mediated rejection into CA-ABMR and active-ABMR, and the gene expression pattern of CA-ABMR has not been compared with that of T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR). To fill these gaps, we RNA sequenced human kidney allograft biopsies categorized as CA-ABMR, active-ABMR, TCMR, or No Rejection (NR). Among the 15,910 genes identified in the biopsies, 60, 114, and 231 genes were uniquely overexpressed in CA-ABMR, TCMR, and active-ABMR, respectively; compared to NR, 50 genes were shared between CA-ABMR and active-ABMR, and 164 genes between CA-ABMR and TCMR. The overexpressed genes were annotated to NK cells and T cells in CA-ABMR and TCMR, and to neutrophils and monocytes in active-ABMR. The NK cell cytotoxicity and allograft rejection pathways were enriched in CA-ABMR. Genes encoding perforin, granzymes, and death receptor were overexpressed in CA-ABMR versus active-ABMR but not compared to TCMR. NK cell cytotoxicity pathway gene set variation analysis score was higher in CA-ABMR compared to active-ABMR but not in TCMR. Principal component analysis of the deconvolved immune cellular transcriptomes separated CA-ABMR and TCMR from active-ABMR and NR. Immunohistochemistry of kidney allograft biopsies validated a higher proportion of CD56
