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: Preclinical transplantation models largely rely on macroscopic or terminal assessments of graft fate, limiting longitudinal evaluation of immune rejection and tolerance induction. Reporter proteins such as enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) and firefly luciferase enable real-time, non-invasive imaging of transplanted tissues, but their utility in immunocompetent hosts is constrained by their immunogenicity as non-murine xenoantigens capable of eliciting robust adaptive immune responses. Methods: Full-thickness skin grafts from CAG-eGFP-luciferase donor mice were transplanted onto genetically tolerant (NoGlow Results: Reporter antigens served as defined, trackable targets of antigen-specific immune rejection in non-tolerant recipients, with progressive loss of graft signal correlating with rejection kinetics. Tolerant NoGlow Conclusions: These findings establish a fluorescent and bioluminescent reporter-based skin graft platform that provides quantitative, non-invasive, longitudinal readouts of transplant viability and immune rejection. This system offers a flexible and tractable framework for studying transplant immunobiology and accelerating preclinical evaluation of immunomodulatory and biomaterial-based strategies aimed at improving graft outcomes.
