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

CD4+CD25+ regulatory T-cells (Treg cells) that express Foxp3 protein play an important role in inducing and maintaining allogeneic tolerance and can inhibit graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in murine models. Thus, it is important to clarify the kinetics of Treg cell recovery and its correlation with the occurrence of GVHD in humans; however, whether there is a correlation between the frequency of Treg cells in peripheral blood and the occurrence of GVHD is controversial. We examined the recovery of Treg cells in peripheral blood after allogeneic SCT by quantitating FOXP3 messenger RNA (mRNA). Full donor chimerism was achieved within 1 month after SCT in all but 1 case. The ratios of the measured expression levels of FOXP3 mRNA to those of endogenous control genes rapidly recovered to the normal range as early as 1 month after SCT. Cross-sectional as well as longitudinal analyses revealed no significant correlation between the expression level of FOXP3 mRNA and the occurrence of acute and chronic GVHD. This study suggests that the level of FOXP3+ cells is normal relative to other cell types from the early period after SCT and that their frequency in peripheral blood relative to total leukocytes or T-cells is not indicative of the occurrence of GVHD.
