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

Development of allograft rejection continues to be the major determinant of morbidity and mortality postlung transplantation. We have recently demonstrated that a population of donor-derived mesenchymal stem cells is present in human lung allografts and can be isolated and expanded ex vivo. In this study, we investigated the impact of lung resident mesenchymal stem cells (LR-MSCs), derived from allografts of human lung transplant recipients, on T cell activation in vitro. Similar to bone marrow-derived MSCs, LR-MSCs did not express MHC II or the costimulatory molecules CD80 or CD86. In vitro, LR-MSCs profoundly suppressed the proliferative capacity of T cells in response to a mitogenic or an allogeneic stimulus. The immunosuppressive function of LR-MSCs was also noted in the absence of direct cell contact, indicating that LR-MSCs mediated their effect predominantly via a soluble mediator. LR-MSCs isolated from lung transplant recipients demonstrated PGE(2) secretion at baseline (385 +/- 375 pg/ml), which increased in response to IL-1beta (1149 +/- 1081 pg/ml). The addition of PG synthesis inhibitors (indomethacin and NS-398) substantially abrogated LR-MSC-mediated immunosuppression, indicating that PGE(2) may be one of the major soluble mediators impacting T cell activity. This is the first report to demonstrate that human tissue-derived MSCs isolated from an allogeneic environment have the potential to mediate immunological responses in vitro.
