Potential Biomarkers of Therapeutic Response to ECP in Solid Organ Transplantation.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
One of the major hurdles in solid organ transplantation is graft rejection, which must be prevented with lifelong general immunosuppression. However, modern maintenance immunosuppression is accompanied by serious side effects, such as an increased risk of infection and malignancies. The search for alternative therapies specifically controlling allogeneic responses is fueling renewed interest in extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP). Despite guideline indications for ECP in cardiothoracic transplantation, potential applications in liver and kidney transplantation have not been adequately investigated. Presently, limited understanding of the pharmacodynamic effects of ECP and lack of consensus biomarkers are hindering the development of standardized multiparametric assays to assess patient responses. This review explores current knowledge about immune responses after ECP in transplant recipients and collates a set of biomarkers associated with favorable treatment responses.
