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

Dendritic cells (DCs) initiate immune responses as well as tolerance. We showed previously that the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) suppresses innate immune responses, modulates adaptive responses by generating regulatory T cells (Treg) through the induction of tolerogenic DCs (tDCs), and has therapeutic effects in models of autoimmune/inflammatory disorders. Systemic VIP administration is limited by its short biological half-life and by its pleiotropic effects on the cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, we used lentiviral vectors to genetically engineer VIP-expressing bone marrow-derived DC (BMDC) and characterized the transduced LentiVIP-DC in terms of phenotype and therapeutic effects in models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) sepsis. LentiVIP-DCs secrete VIP, and resemble tDCs through lack of co-stimulatory molecule upregulation, lack of proinflammatory cytokine secretion, increased interleukin (IL)-10 production, and poor stimulation of allogeneic T cells. A single inoculation of LentiVIP-DC in EAE or CLP mice had therapeutic effects, which correlated with reduced expression of proinflammatory cytokines and increased IL-10 production in spinal cord and peritoneal fluid, respectively. In contrast to systemic VIP administration that requires repeated, high-dose inoculations, local delivery of VIP by LentiVIP-DC may represent a promising therapeutic tool for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders.
