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

Chronic antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is the major cause of solid organ graft rejection. Th17 contributes to AMR through the secretion of IL17A, IL21 and IL22. These cytokines promote neutrophilic infiltration, B cell proliferation and donor specific antibodies (DSAs) production. In the current study we investigated the role of Th17 in transplant sensitization. Additionally, we investigated the therapeutic potential of novel inverse agonists of the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt) in the treatment of skin allograft rejection in sensitized mice. Our results show that RORγt inverse agonists reduce cytokine production in human Th17 cells in vitro. In mice, we demonstrate that the RORγt inverse agonist TF-S14 reduces Th17 signature cytokines in vitro and in vivo and leads to blocking neutrophilic infiltration to skin allografts, inhibition of the B-cell differentiation, and the reduction of de novo IgG3 DSAs production. Finally, we show that TF-S14 prolongs the survival of a total mismatch grafts in sensitized mice. In conclusion, RORγt inverse agonists offer a therapeutic intervention through a novel mechanism to treat rejection in highly sensitized patients.
