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

Avoiding immune rejection after allogeneic induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (iPSC-CM) transplantation is a concern. However, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can suppress immune rejection. To determine whether MSC co-transplantation can reduce immune rejection after allogeneic iPSC-CM transplantation, the latter cell type, harbouring a luciferase transgene, was subcutaneously transplanted alone or together with syngeneic MSCs into BALB/c mice. Bioluminescence imaging revealed that MSC co-transplantation significantly improved graft survival (day 7: iPSC-CMs alone 34 ± 5%; iPSC-CMs with MSCs, 61 ± 7%; P = 0.008). MSC co-transplantation increased CD4 + CD25 + FOXP3 + regulatory T cell numbers, apoptotic CD8-positive T cells, and IL-10 and TGF-beta expression at the implantation site. Analysis using a regulatory T cell depletion model indicated that enhanced regulatory T cell populations in the iPSC-CM with MSC group partially contributed to the extended iPSC-CM survival. Further, MSCs affected activated lymphocytes directly through cell-cell contact, which reduced the CD8/CD4 ratio, the proportion of Th1-positive cells among CD4-positive cells, and the secretion of several inflammation-related cytokines. Syngeneic MSC co-transplantation might thus control allogeneic iPSC-CM rejection by mediating immune tolerance via regulatory T cells and cell-cell contact with activated lymphocytes; this approach has promise for cardiomyogenesis-based therapy using allogeneic iPSC-CMs for severe heart failure.
