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

Background: Measurement of chemokine CXCL10 is a novel approach to assess the transplant rejection risk and to detect the rejection. While CXCL10 has shown itself to be useful in renal transplants, there are only a few studies on the association between pancreas transplantation and CXCL10. Furthermore, the importance of autoantibodies associated with type I diabetes in pancreas transplantation are relatively poorly understood. Objectives: To determine whether there is an association between CXCL10 plasma levels and graft rejection in simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant recipients, and to assess the effects of pancreas autoantibodies on pancreatic transplant rejection. Design: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Methods: In total of 23 individuals (11 male and 12 female, mean age 39.5 (SD ± 7.6) years) who underwent simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation, and in 8 healthy controls (evenly distributed in terms of gender, mean age 26.1 (SD ± 1.5) years) plasma samples were analyzed for CXCL10 and autoantibody levels using ELISA. The data was categorized into preoperative, perioperative and postoperative samples and were further juxtaposed in relation to rejection episodes. Results: Preoperative CXCL10 levels did not differ from those for healthy individuals, but they rose postoperatively ( Conclusion: Elevated CXCL10 levels during the first 3 months after transplantation seem to be a risk factor for rejection. The post transplant presence of anti-ZnT8 autoantibodies was associated with transplant rejection.
