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

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a leading cause of kidney graft failure. Complement activation is involved in the AMR process. Our aim is to provide the current understanding of the pathophysiology related to complement-mediated injury in AMR, to present the current evidence regarding complement blockade in AMR management, and to point out emerging therapies and future directions in this area. The complement system plays an important role in the onset and progression of AMR. There is a balance between complement-dependent and -independent mechanisms in the development of rejection lesions. Classic and leptin pathways are involved in this process. C4d positivity is no longer a mandatory feature for AMR diagnosis but remains an independent predictor of negative outcomes. The current evidence regarding AMR treatment is limited. Terminal and proximal complement blockade has gained recognition in clinical practice. Eculizumab and C1 inhibitors are effective in the treatment of AMR as adjuvant therapies to the standard of care. The availability of novel complement inhibitors will lead to more effective and tailored treatment strategies.
