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

Endometrial regenerative cells (ERCs) are easily isolated from menstrual blood, and can be cultured in large amounts. Although, ERCs can ameliorate DSS-induced colitis in mice, the molecular mechanism underlying ERCs-mediated immunosuppression is unclear. This study was aimed to assess the function of PD-L1 expressed on ERCs in colitis attenuation. ERCs with and without anti-PD-L1 mAb-pretreatment were administered to mice by injection at 2, 5 and 8 days after colitis induction by DSS treatment. Blood, spleen and colon samples were obtained 15 days post-DSS-induction. Then, clinicopathological alterations, cytokine levels, immune cell types and cell tracking were assessed. ERCs or ERCs preincubated with anti-PD-L1 antibody were co-cultured with splenocytes, whose phenotypes was analyzed by flow cytometry. We found that PD-L1 on ERCs was upregulated by IFN-γ stimulation. The transplanted PKH26-labeled ERCs were engrafted to the lung, liver, spleen and injured colon. Interestingly, ERC-based therapy markedly attenuated mouse colitis, but blockade of PD-L1 on ERCs with a specific monoclonal antibody conferred severe colitis to the animals. These effects of PD-L1 inhibition on colitis were associated with reduced amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines and infiltrated immune cells, including CD3
