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

backgroundHLA-DQ antibodies are the most prevalent de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSAs) after kidney transplantation (KT). The immunogenicity and impact of each HLA-DQ mismatch on graft outcomes can vary considerably.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study investigated the prevalence and risk factors for dnDSA development in patients who underwent KT at Siriraj Hospital between 2006 and 2020 and had HLA-DQB1 mismatches. Our center employed a protocol for post-KT dnDSA surveillance. The impact of dnDSAs on late rejection and graft survival was evaluated.

resultsIn our cohort of 491 KT recipients, 59 (12.02%) developed dnDSAs to HLA-DQB1 at a median time of 4.2 years after KT. The risk of dnDSA occurrence was significantly higher among recipients with HLA-DQ7 mismatch (HR: 2.8; 95% CI: 1.21-6.52; P = 0.017) and HLA-DQ9 mismatch (HR: 2.63; 95% CI: 1.11-6.27; P = 0.028). Recipients who developed dnDSAs were younger (P = 0.009), had higher rates of medication nonadherence (P = 0.031), had pre-KT panel reactive antibody levels above 20% (P = 0.044), and received non-tacrolimus immunosuppression (P < 0.001) compared to those without. Recipients who developed dnDSAs to HLA-DQ exhibited a significantly higher incidence of late graft rejection (HR: 7.76; 95% CI: 5-12.03; P < 0.0001) and inferior death-censored graft survival than those without dnDSAs (log rank P < 0.001).

conclusionThe patients with HLA-DQ7 and HLA-DQ9 mismatches exhibit the highest risk of developing dnDSAs. Individualized immunosuppression adjustment and kidney allocation based on specific HLA-DQ mismatch may enhance long-term graft survival.
