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

purpose of reviewRegulatory T cells (Treg) are now well established as vital participants in maintaining self-tolerance and preventing autoimmunity. Tregs have already been shown to be effective in preventing graft-versus-host disease in clinical bone marrow transplantation, and numerous animal studies have suggested a therapeutic role for Treg in solid organ transplantation. Recent advances in Treg isolation and expansion have the field poised to perform trials of therapeutic Treg infusion in solid organ transplantation worldwide. An important component of these trials will be the detection of infused cells and the assessment of Treg activity after infusion. RECENT

findingsSeveral animal studies have demonstrated that infused Treg migrate to transplanted tissue in the early period after transplantation. This finding has important implications for the interpretation of biopsy results in human trials. Recent refinements in Treg identification, quantification, and functional assays will be discussed in the context of immune monitoring. SUMMARY: Understanding the migration/localization and persistence of infused Treg into transplanted tissues as well as how they impact the peripheral immune response will be critical to the interpretation of early Treg trials.
