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

Both age and biological sex affect transplantation outcomes. We have recently shown in a large volume clinical analysis utilizing the SRTR data that graft survival is inferior in young female kidney transplant recipients. In this multi-factorial analysis, older female recipients presented with a trend towards improved transplant outcomes compared to both young female recipients and male recipients of any age. Those data supported by reports of those of others suggest that sex and age impact alloimmune responses both, individually and synergistically. Biological sex and hormone levels change throughout a lifetime with recognized effects on longevity in addition to an impact on the development and course of several disease preconditions. Detailed mechanisms of those sex and age-specific aspects have thus far been studied outside of transplantation. Effects on alloimmunity are largely unknown. Moreover, the combinatorial impact that both, biological sex and age have on transplant outcomes is not understood. Here, we summarize available data that analyze how age in combination with biological sex may shape alloimmune responses and affect transplant outcomes.
