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

Novel methods for detecting transplant rejection are craved, since conventional methods can detect ongoing rejection that may sometimes have already caused irreversible damage in transplanted organs. Here, we applied a transcriptomics database of recipients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before liver or kidney transplantation on the weighted gene co-expression network and machine learning models to evaluate the risk of rejection. Gene clusters positively correlated with rejection were enriched for genes related to antiviral response and regulation/production of interleukin-1(IL-1) in liver transplantation, and genes related to innate immune responses (IL-8 and toll-like receptor signaling pathways) and T cell responses were positively correlated with rejection in kidney transplantation. Our study presents a novel approach for feature engineering based on RNA-seq data of PBMCs collected before transplantation. The features derived from this method demonstrated potential in predicting the risk of rejection and may serve as candidate predictors in future clinically applicable models.
