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

Various immunoregulatory cells that inhibit graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and induce the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect are found after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These cells comprise CD4+CD25+ regulatory T-cells, regulatory dendritic cells (rDCs), gamma(delta) T-cells, natural killer (NK) T-cells, and NK cells and T-cells with inhibitory NK receptors. Although the first 4 types of cells effectively inhibit GVHD in animal models, with rDCs showing an inhibitory effect on GVHD in humans as well, the GVL effect was observed only in rDCs. Additional analyses are required to determine whether these cells can inhibit GVHD and exert the GVL effect in humans. In contrast, NK cells and T-cells with inhibitory NK receptors have been shown in humans to possess a suppressive activity against GVHD while preserving the GVL effect. These results indicate that immunoregulatory cells may be used to modulate GVHD and the GVL effect in clinical settings.
