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

Acute rejection, one of the most devastating complications that can occur following organ transplantation, is caused by antigenic differences between the organ donor and the recipient. Following cardiac transplantation, an estimated 12% of patients will experience at least one episode of moderate or severe acute rejection in the first year after transplantation. To better understand the genetic mechanisms underlying acute rejection, Yucatan pigs (YP) serve as an ideal preclinical model. Translatability of the YP preclinical model relies on the fidelity observed between preclinical and clinical pathologies. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis has emerged as a blood-based, non-invasive screening tool for acute rejection of solid organs following transplantation. We present a detailed characterization of the genomic variance in YPs. The degree of variance matches that observed in humans, enabling for the ability to detect and distinguish between donor-derived and recipient-derived fragments isolated from the transplant recipient's blood.
