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

Although a key role of cross-dressing has been established in immunity to viral infection and more recently in the instigation of transplant rejection, its role in tolerance is unclear. We investigated the role of intragraft dendritic cells (DCs) and cross-dressing in mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched liver transplant tolerance that occurs without therapeutic immunosuppression. Although donor interstitial DCs diminished rapidly after transplantation, they were replaced in the liver by host DCs that peaked on postoperative day (POD) 7 and persisted indefinitely. Approximately 60% of these recipient DCs displayed donor MHC class I, indicating cross-dressing. By contrast, only a very minor fraction (0%-2%) of cross-dressed DCs (CD-DCs) was evident in the spleen. CD-DCs sorted from liver grafts expressed much higher levels of T cell inhibitory programed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and high levels of interleukin-10 compared with non-CD-DCs (nCD-DCs) isolated from the graft. Concomitantly, high incidences of programed death protein 1 (PD-1)
