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

Traditional monitoring of kidney transplant recipients for allograft dysfunction caused by rejection involves serial checks of serum creatinine with biopsy of the renal allograft if dysfunction is suspected. This approach is labor-intensive, invasive and costly. In addition, because this approach relies on a rise in serum creatinine above historical baselines, injury to the allograft can be extensive before this rise occurs. In an effort to address this, donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cf DNA) is being used with increasing frequency in the clinical setting as a means of diagnosing a rejection of the renal allograft early in the course. This can potentially allow for early intervention to minimize not only injury, but the intensity of antirejection therapy needed and the avoidance of side effects. Here, we will review the available methodology for the determination and quantification of dd-cf DNA, the data supporting its use in clinical practice and the limitations of this technology.
