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

Establishment of mixed chimerism is an ideal approach to induce donor-specific tolerance while expanding its potential in various clinical settings. Despite the developments in partial conditioning regimens, improvements are still needed in reducing toxicity and bone marrow transplantation-related complications. Recently, cell-based therapies, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have been incorporated in establishing noncytoreductive mixed chimerism protocols; however, its efficacy is only partial and shows reversed immunosuppressive properties. This study demonstrates a novel approach to induce mixed chimerism and tolerance through combinatory cell-based immune modulation (CCIM) of MSCs and regulatory T cells (Tregs). We hypothesize that the interaction between these cells may lead to greater inhibition of host immune responses. Compared with single cell therapy, CCIM induced a higher engraftment rate and robust donor-specific tolerance to skin allografts across full major histocompatibility complex barriers. These regulatory effects were associated with inhibition of natural killer cell cytotoxic activity, CD4(+)IL-17(+) cells, memory B cells, plasma cells, and immunoglobulin production levels along with increased frequencies of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) cells, IL-10-producing mature B cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Furthermore, CCIM was able to regulate mortality in a graft-versus-host disease model through reciprocal regulation of Treg/Th17. Taken together, we suggest CCIM as a clinically applicable strategy for facilitating the induction of mixed chimerism and permanent tolerance.
