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

Long-term, immunosuppression-free allograft survival has been induced in human and nonhuman primate (NHP) kidney recipients after nonmyeloablative conditioning and donor bone marrow transplantation (DBMT), resulting in transient mixed hematopoietic chimerism. However, the same strategy has consistently failed in NHP heart transplant recipients. Here, we investigated whether long-term heart allograft survival could be achieved by cotransplanting kidneys from the same donor. Cynomolgus monkeys were transplanted with heart allografts alone or heart and kidney allografts from the same major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched donors. All animals except one received DBMT, either at the same time or after a 2- to 4-month delay, plus short-term costimulation blockade and calcineurin inhibitor treatment. Long-term, immunosuppression-free heart allograft survival was consistently achieved in heart/kidney, but not heart-alone, recipients. This was not associated with greater donor/recipient histocompatibility or altered lymphoid cell reconstitution after conditioning. The maintenance of tolerance after heart/kidney transplantation was associated with the presence of forkhead box P3 (Foxp3
