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

Organ xenografts under certain circumstances survive in the presence of anti-graft antibodies and complement, a situation referred to as "accommodation." We find that the endothelial cells (ECs) in hamster hearts that accommodate themselves in rats express genes, such as A20 and bcl-2, that in vitro protect ECs from apoptosis and prevent upregulation in those cells of proinflammatory genes such as cytokines, procoagulant and adhesion molecules. Hearts that are rejected do not express these genes. In addition, vessels of rejected hearts show florid transplant arteriosclerosis whereas those of accommodated hearts do not. Accommodated xenografts have an ongoing T helper cell type 2 (Th2) cytokine immune response, whereas the rejected grafts have a Th1 response. We propose a model for factors that contribute to the survival of xenografts and the avoidance of transplant arteriosclerosis.
