Cell therapy for autoimmune diseases: does it have a future?
Review in Annals of the rheumatic diseases, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Almost all current therapeutic concepts in autoimmune diseases are based on the systemic suppression of immune functions and are not curative. The recent introduction of biologicals such as tumour necrosis factor blocking antibodies or receptors has added greater specificity to efficient management of disease by targeted suppression of rheumatic inflammation. It is evident, however, that only the elimination of the cells secreting inflammatory mediators, rather than the blockade of secreted molecules, will offer real specific therapeutic advantages in the future. Merely the elimination of such cells and also cells controlling the secreting effector cells could be curative and induce true long term remissions. We review here the state of the art and future therapeutic concepts that are based on the specific modulation of pathogenic cells that induce and sustain autoimmune inflammation. This sounds visionary, however, a variety of basic tools are at hand now. Thus, direct and specific cell therapy of rheumatic diseases will become a true alternative to conventional therapies.
