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: Combinations of HLA-DQ α1 and β1 chains are restricted to specific groups: group 1 (G1), comprising DQA1*02/03/04/05/06 with DQB1*02/03/04, and group 2 (G2), comprising DQA1*01 with DQB1*05/06. A recently discovered role of HLA-DQ heterodimers in hematopoietic cell transplantation suggests poorer outcomes in patients carrying G2 heterodimers. However, the absence of a clear biological rationale has raised questions regarding the generalizability of this observation. Methods: To further evaluate this finding, we investigated the impact of the HLA-DQ group genotype in 821 kidney recipients by multivariate survival modeling. Results: Compared with recipients of G1G1 donor grafts, those who received G2G2 donor grafts had a 1.9-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-2.9; Conclusions: The paradigm based on HLA-DQ heterodimers appears to be shared between hematopoietic and solid organ transplantation, strongly encouraging investigation into the underlying biological mechanisms.
