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

Nature has evolved effective cell adhesion mechanisms to deliver inflammatory cells to inflamed tissue; however, many culture-expanded therapeutic cells are incapable of targeting diseased tissues following systemic infusion, which represents a great challenge in cell therapy. Our aim was to develop simple approaches to program cell-cell interactions that would otherwise not exist toward cell targeting and understanding the complex biology of cell-cell interactions. We employed a chemistry approach to engineer P- or L-selectin binding nucleic acid aptamers onto mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to enable them to engage inflamed endothelial cells and leukocytes, respectively. We show for the first time that engineered cells with a single artificial adhesion ligand can recapitulate 3 critical cell interactions in the inflammatory cell adhesion cascade under dynamic flow conditions. Aptamer-engineered MSCs adhered on respective selectin surfaces under static conditions >10 times more efficiently than controls including scrambled-DNA modified MSCs. Significantly, engineered MSCs can be directly captured from the flow stream by selectin surfaces or selectin-expressing cells under flow conditions (≤2dyn/cm²). The simple chemistry approach and the versatility of aptamers permit the concept of engineered cell-cell interactions to be generically applicable for targeting cells to diseased tissues and elucidating the biology of cell-cell interactions.
