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

Conventional T cell-directed immunosuppression is the mainstay of standard-of-care therapy to prevent graft rejection in clinical organ transplantation. However, it remains ineffective in preventing experimental and clinical organ xenograft rejection. Here, we explored the impact of allogeneic versus xenogeneic antigen stimulation on human T cell responses and gene profile. A comparable proliferative human T cell response was observed in vitro following stimulation with either human or pig cells. Yet, elevated High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) levels were following xenogeneic but not allogeneic stimulation, suggesting a pro-inflammatory response. Next, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cultured with allogeneic human, "concordant" xenogeneic monkey, or "discordant" xenogeneic pig, intact cells, or cell lysates.
