Immunosuppression Agent Cyclosporine Reduces Self-Renewal and Vessel Regeneration Potentiation of Human Endothelial Colony Forming Cells.
Article in Stem cells translational medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFC) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) combined have great potential to be used for cell therapy of ischemic vascular diseases. However, to improve allogeneic stem cell engraftment the use of immunosuppression, such as cyclosporine has been suggested. Our aim was to assess the impact of cyclosporine on hind limb revascularisation upon MSC and ECFC combination therapy. Balb/c immunocompetent mice subjected to hind limb ischemia (right femoral artery ligation) were given both human ECFC and MSC (weekly intramuscular injections) with or without cyclosporine (daily injection). Surprisingly, mice receiving cyclosporine had a significant decrease in reperfusion based on laser Doppler imaging compared to vehicle controls and had poorer limb survival. In vitro, the downstream calcineurin target NFATC4 was highly expressed in the self-renewing fraction of ECFCs. ECFCs cultured with cyclosporine had reduced colony formation capacity and tube formation in Matrigel. Lastly, ECFC displayed increased proliferation and loss of capacity for long term culture when in the presence of cyclosporine clearly showing a loss of quiescence and progenitor function. Our findings demonstrate the deleterious impact of cyclosporine on ECFC function, with significant impact on ECFC-based allogeneic cellular therapy. Stem Cells Translational Medicine 2019;8:162&7.
