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

The use of allogeneic "universal donor" mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may be a substantial clinical convenience for treatment of autoimmune ailments such as multiple sclerosis. We therefore tested whether allogeneic MSCs can be exploited for treatment of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice with otherwise intact immune system. Administration of allogeneic Balb/c-derived MSCs to C57Bl/6 mice with pre-established EAE led to a significant decrease in disease score over time comparable to that achieved with syngeneic MSCs, and was correlated with a significant blunting of immune cell infiltration to the spinal cord and reduced circulating levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-17. Pretreatment of allogeneic MSCs with IFN-gamma increased the expression levels of CCL2 as well as major histocompatibility complex I (MHCI) and MHCII, but also led to complete loss of suppressive activity in vivo that correlated with immune rejection. In conclusion, allogeneic MSCs can suppress the manifestations of EAE, yet retain the potential for alloimmunization.
