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 (MSC) obtained from α1,3-galactosyltransferase gene knock-out pigs transgenic for the human complement-regulatory protein CD46 (GTKO/CD46 pMSC) suppress in vitro human anti-pig cellular responses as efficiently as allogeneic human MSC. We investigated the immunoregulatory effects of GTKO/CD46 pMSC on human CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell proliferation in response to pig aortic endothelial cells (pAEC). pMSC efficiently suppressed T cell proliferation, which was associated with downregulation of granzyme B expression. No induction of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(hi) regulatory T cells or T cell apoptosis was documented. In correlation with T cell proliferation, CD25 expression was upregulated on T cells in response to pAEC but not to pMSC. In contrast, CD69 expression was upregulated on T cells in response to both pMSC and pAEC, which was associated with a significant increase in the phosphorylation of STAT5. GTKO/CD46 pMSC possibly regulate human T cell responses through modulation of CD69 expression and STAT5 signaling.
