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.

Abstract

Several in-silico methods emerge to assess HLA immunogenicity and stratify immunological risk, including HLA molecular mismatches and HLA evolutionary divergence (HED). However, their added value in risk-stratifying antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) remains uncertain. We include 5159 kidney transplant recipients from four centers. Thirty-three clinical and immunological parameters are assessed, including HLA eplet mismatches, PIRCHE-II scores, and HED. Their associations with AMR are evaluated using Cox models. AMR occurrs in 1024 patients (19.9%). Immunological determinants of AMR include anti-HLA DSA (MFI:500-1400, HR:1.87; MFI > 1400, HR:3.84, p < 0.001) and HLA Class II eplet mismatches (HR:1.02, p < 0.001). HLA-DQB1-derived (HR:1.01, p = 0.005) and HLA-DRB1-derived PIRCHE-II scores (HR:1.01, p = 0.001) are also associated with AMR, while HED is not. These findings remain consistent across centers and subpopulations, including non-sensitized patients (n = 4137). Our findings show that Class II molecular mismatches are independently associated with AMR. HED shows no association, suggesting limited utility for immune-risk stratification at a population level. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT06436586.
