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

Systemic complement is a major contributor to the onset and progression of kidney graft injury. However, the kidney itself is an important site of complement production. Renal-derived complement plays a key role in graft dysfunction, unlike in some other solid organ transplants. Complement factors are generated by multiple renal cell types under both physiological and pathological conditions. Renal complement production mediates ischemia/reperfusion injury and acute cellular and humoral rejection but protective effects of the complement cascade have been reported as well. More recently, intracellular complement production and activation (complosome) has also been shown to be an important regulator of key metabolic and cellular functions in renal cells and in immune kidney infiltrates, adding complexity to the field. Herein, we review current knowledge on the role of renal-derived complement in the pathophysiology of kidney graft damage and the current landscape of complement targeted therapeutics in kidney transplantation.
