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

backgroundEndothelial cells are vital in the transplant immune system as semiprofessional antigen-presenting cells. Few studies have investigated the importance of anti-endothelin subtype A receptor (ETAR) antibodies in kidney transplantation. Here, we aimed to analyze the association between anti-angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) and anti-ETAR antibodies and the association between the presence of anti-endothelial antibodies and the risk of allograft rejection in kidney transplantation.

methodsIn total, 252 patients who underwent kidney transplantation were enrolled in this study. Antibodies for human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and non-HLAs were analyzed immediately before transplantation. Patients were categorized based on the occurrence of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) or T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) by 2017 Banff classification. All p-values were two-tailed, and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.

resultsPatients with anti-AT1R antibodies had a 3.49-fold higher risk of TCMR than those without anti-AT1R antibodies. Patients with anti-ETAR antibodies had a 5.84-fold higher risk of AMR than those without anti-ETAR antibodies. The hazard ratio of AMR in patients with both HLA DSAs and anti-ETAR antibodies, relative to patients without anti-ETAR antibodies and HLA DSAs, was 32.85 (95% CI = 1.82-592.91).

conclusionOur findings indicated that anti-ETAR antibodies are associated with AMR, and patients with both anti-ETAR antibodies and de novo HLA DSAs were at a high risk of AMR.
