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

backgroundMemory T cells (Tms) are the major barrier preventing long-term allograft survival in presensitized transplant recipients. The OX40/OX40L pathway is important in the induction and maintenance of Tms.

methodsIn this study, we added anti-OX40L mAb to ethylene-carbodiimide-fixed donor splenocytes (ECDI-SPs)-a method which is effective in inducing allograft tolerance in non-presensitized mouse heart transplant model. Recipient mice received heart transplantation after 6 weeks of donor skin presensitization and were treated with anti-OX40L mAb, ECDI-SPs or anti-OX40L mAb + ECDI-SPs, respectively.

resultsOur data showed that the combination of ECDI-SPs and anti-OX40L mAb induced donor-specific tolerance in skin-presensitized heart transplant recipients, with the mechanism for this being associated with suppression of Tms and upregulation of CD4

conclusionsBlockade of OX40/OX40L pathway in combination with ECDI-SPs appears to modulate the Tms/Tregs imbalance so as to create a protective milieu and induce graft tolerance in presensitized recipients.
