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

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is one of the most dominant mechanisms responsible for the loss of kidney grafts. Previous researches have shown that donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) are the major mediators of AMR. In order to prolong the survival time of grafts, it is vital to reduce the incidence of AMR and inhibit the generation of DSAs. We established an animal model of AMR by performing kidney transplantation in pre-sensitized rats. Then, we investigated the effect of bortezomib (BTZ) on AMR. We found that BTZ could reduce the serum level of DSAs and alleviate post-transplantation inflammation in peritubular capillaries (PTCs) and glomeruli, which was demonstrated by the reduction of C4d and IgG deposition in PTCs, and the reduced number of B cell and plasma cell in peripheral blood and the transplanted kidney (p < 0.05). Our results also suggested that BTZ increased the number of regulatory T cell (Treg) and significantly reduced the proportion of T helper (Th17) cell (p < 0.05). Besides, BTZ induced the significant upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines but downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines (p < 0.05). After dealing with Atg5 siRNA-lentivirus, the effect of BTZ alleviating AMR was reversed and Th17/Treg proportions were also significantly modulated. Collectively, these findings show that BTZ slows down the process of AMR and Atg5 may be the key mechanism. Furthermore, Atg5 silencing results may be demonstrated that Atg5 alleviated AMR by modulating the ratio of Th17/Treg.
