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

In four phase 2 clinical trials, patients underwent imlifidase-enabled kidney transplantation, converting a positive crossmatch (+XM) to negative. Here, we present data from 39 patients enrolled in the 5-year follow-up extension trial. Patient survival, graft survival, renal function, delayed graft function (DGF) antibody mediated rejection (AMR) frequency, safety and presence of donor specific antibodies (DSAs) are presented. Data from the long-term follow-up trial (17-HMedIdeS-14); NCT03611621) with planned visits at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years after imlifidase were combined with up to 6-month phase 2 data from 4 pivotal trials (13-HMedIdeS-02, 13-HMedIdeS-03, 14-HMedIdeS-04, 15-HMedIdeS-06). Five-year patient survival was 90% with 3 deaths occurring between 6 months and 1 year, with no deaths occurring subsequently. Death-censored graft survival was 82% (with 3 early graft losses and 3 graft losses between 2 and 5 years). Mean eGFR at 5 years was 50.1 (MDRD), 55.8 (CKD-EPI, 2021) and 52.5 (KRS, 2023) mL/min/1.73 m Clinical Trial: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02790437), EudraCT Number: 2016-002064-13.
