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 prevailing idea regarding the mechanism(s) by which therapeutic immunosuppressive dendritic cells (DCs) restrain alloimmunity is based on the concept that they interact directly with antidonor T cells, inducing anergy, deletion, and/or regulation. However, this idea has not been tested in vivo. Using prototypic in vitro-generated maturation-resistant (MR) DCs, we demonstrate that once MR-DCs carrying donor antigen (Ag) are administered intravenously, they decrease the direct and indirect pathway T-cell responses and prolong heart allograft survival but fail to directly regulate T cells in vivo. Rather, injected MR-DCs are short-lived and reprocessed by recipient DCs for presentation to indirect pathway CD4(+) T cells, resulting in abortive activation and deletion without detrimental effect on the number of indirect CD4(+) FoxP3(+) T cells, thus increasing the regulatory to effector T cell relative percentage. The effect on the antidonor response was independent of the method used to generate therapeutic DCs or their viability; and in accordance with the idea that recipient Ag-presenting cells mediate the effects of therapeutic DCs in transplantation, prolongation of allograft survival was achieved using donor apoptotic MR-DCs or those lacking surface major histocompatibility complex molecules. We therefore conclude that therapeutic DCs function as Ag-transporting cells rather than Ag-presenting cells to prolong allograft survival.
