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

We have previously reported human fetal cartilage progenitor cells (hFCPCs) as a novel source of therapeutic cells showing high proliferation and stem cell properties superior to those of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we investigated the immunophenotype and immune-modulatory activities of hFCPCs. With institutional review board approval, hFCPCs were isolated from fetuses at 11-13 weeks of gestation. hFCPCs showed strong expression of HLA class I molecules but low or no expression of HLA class II and co-stimulatory molecules, which was not changed significantly after 4 days of IFN-γ treatment. In a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR), hFCPCs showed no allogeneic immune response to peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and suppressed concanavalin A (Con A)-mediated proliferation of PBLs in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, hFCPCs inhibited Con A-induced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ from PBLs but showed no significant decrease of secretion of IL-10, anti-inflammatory cytokine. Co-culture of hFCPCs with stimulated PBLs for 4 days resulted in a significant increase in CD4
