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

Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules are a major risk factor for rejection of transplanted organs (in antibody-mediated rejection [ABMR]), particularly in patients who have prior sensitization or receive insufficient immunosuppression through minimization or noncompliance. These DSA are measured routinely in the serum of patients prior to transplantation mainly using bead-based technologies or cell-based assays. However, the absence of detectable serum DSA does not always reflect the absence of sensitization or histologically defined ABMR, and so it has been proposed that the detection and measurement of memory B cells capable of secreting antibodies against donor HLA antigens could be carried out using B-cell ImmunoSpot, to better inform the degree of immune sensitization of transplant patients prior to as well as after transplantation. Such an assay is described here.
