Divide and conquer: Blocking graft versus host but not graft versus leukemia T cells with agonist BTLA co-inhibitory signals.
Article in Chimerism, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
One of the main objectives in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) research is the prevention of graft versus host disease (GVHD) while maintaining the graft versus leukemia/lymphoma (GVL) effect. Whether these two responses generated by donor T cells can be sufficiently separated and controlled remains controversial. While various approaches have been tested to achieve this goal, success has been relatively limited. Lymphocyte responses are negatively regulated by a series of receptors that function along with antigen receptors to deliver co-inhibitory signals. B and T lymphocyte associated (BTLA) is a novel co-inhibitory molecule expressed by activated T cells, B cells and other immune cells. A study by Albring et al. has now shown in a murine model that a single injection of agonistic anti-BTLA monoclonal antibody can inhibit GVHD long-term while maintaining GVL responses and immunity to infection. These studies suggest that future development of biologics to harness the function of co-inhibitory signals will be an important approach in the prevention of autoimmunity and GVHD and in protocols to achieve transplantation tolerance.
