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

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for the maintenance of tolerance and immune homeostasis. In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), transfer of appropriate Treg numbers is a promising therapy for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We have recently reported a novel approach that induces the marked expansion and selective activation of Tregs in vivo by targeting tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 25 (TNFRSF25) and CD25. A potential advance to promote clinical application of Tregs to ameliorate GVHD and other disorders would be the generation of more potent Treg populations. Here we wanted to determine if very low doses of Tregs generated using the "2-pathway" stimulation protocol via TL1A-Ig fusion protein and low-dose IL-2 (targeting TNFRSF25 and CD25, respectively) could be used to regulate preclinical GVHD. Analysis of such 2-pathway expanded Tregs identified higher levels of activation and functional molecules (CD103, ICOS-1, Nrp-1, CD39, CD73, il-10, and tgfb1) versus unexpanded Tregs. Additionally, in vitro assessment of 2-pathway stimulated Tregs indicated enhanced suppressor activity. Notably, transplant of extremely low numbers of these Tregs (1:6 expanded Tregs/conventional T cells) suppressed GVHD after an MHC-mismatched aHSCT. Overall, these results demonstrate that 2-pathway stimulated CD4
