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

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been shown to have immunosuppressive effects in vitro. To test the hypothesis that these effects can be harnessed to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft rejection after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), we administered a combination of 3 different immortalized marrow-derived MSC lines (15-30 × 10⁶ MSCs/kg/day, 2-5 times/week) or third-party primary MSC (1.0 × 10⁶ MSCs/kg/day, 3 times/week) to canine recipients (n = 15) of dog leukocyte antigen-haploidentical marrow grafts prepared with 9.2 Gy of total body irradiation. Additional pharmacological immunosuppression was not given after HCT. Before their in vivo use, the MSC products were shown to suppress alloantigen-induced T cell proliferation in a dose-dependent, major histocompatibility complex-unrestricted, and cell contact-independent fashion in vitro. Among 14 evaluable dogs, 7 (50%) rejected their grafts and 7 engrafted, with ensuing rapidly fatal acute GVHD (50%). These observations were not statistically different from outcomes obtained with historical controls (n = 11) not given MSC infusions (P = .69). Thus, survival curves for MSC-treated dogs and controls were virtually superimposable (median survival, 18 vs 15 days, respectively). Finally, outcomes of dogs given primary MSCs (n = 3) did not appear to be different from those given clonal MSCs (n = 12). In conclusion, our data fail to demonstrate MSC-mediated protection against GVHD and allograft rejection in this model.
