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

backgroundThis pilot study aimed to assess whether the perioperative infusion of donor bone marrow cells (DBMC) in renal allograft recipients can affect the appearance of peripheral regulatory T-cell subsets and the profile of cytokine-producing cells [interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-10] 2 years after transplantation.

methodsFresh blood samples were collected from 14 kidney recipients who received infusion and from 13 kidney recipients without infusion who served as controls at the end of the second post-transplantation year. Initially the percentages of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T cells and CD3(+)CD8(+)CD28(-) T cells were quantified using flowcytometry. Thereafter, the frequencies of IL-10-, IL-17- and IFN-γ-producing cells were determined separately using the ELISPOT technique with peptides corresponding to mismatched donor HLA-DR molecules and phytohemagglutinin (PHA).

resultsThe mean numbers of IFN-γ- and IL-17-producing cells in response to PHA were lower in infused patients than in controls (P = 0.02 and P = 0.18, respectively); however, an increased frequency of IL-10-producing cells was observed compared to controls (P = 0.07). Furthermore, the ratio of IL-10/IFN-γ-producing cells was significantly higher in the DBMC-infused group versus controls (P = 0.01). There was a negative correlation between the percentage of CD3(+)CD8(+)CD28(-)T cells and IL-17-producing cells in the infused group (r = -0.539, P = 0.04). The mean levels and the frequency of microchimerism within the first post-transplantation year were also significantly higher in infused patients than in controls (P = 0.007 and P = 0.001, respectively).

conclusionOur findings suggest that DBMC infusion could partially stimulate the regulatory mechanisms against alloimmune responses in kidney allograft recipients
