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

BACKGROUND/

aimsCrohn's Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by various abnormalities that lead to overly aggressive T-cell responses. Our in vitro experiments aimed to investigate the potential use of Dental Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (DF-MSCs) to suppress the exaggerated immune response in inflamed and non-inflamed tissue of Crohn's Disease (CD). MATERIAL AND

methodsDental follicle tissues were obtained from extracted third molar teeth of 3 healthy volunteers who have no abscess or inflammatory diseases. Eleven patients included the experiment who had been diagnosed with CD and not received steroid maintenance therapy for more than 1 month. Mononuclear Cells (MNCs) were isolated from inflamed and non-inflamed tissue of CD. Isolated cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies in the presence and absence of DF-MSCs and analyzed for lymphocytes proliferation capacity and viability, T lymphocyte subsets, CD4+IL22BP and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Tregs) frequencies and cytokine levels.

resultsA significant downregulation of lymphocyte proliferation and CD4+IL22BP T cell ratio were found in inflamed cultures with DF-MSCs (p<0,005). Also, the frequency of Tregs increased with DF-MSCs (p<0,05). Pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-α and IL-6) were decreased (p<0,05) and IL-10 levels were increased (p<0,05) in the supernatant of inflamed cultures.

conclusionDF-MSCs reduced the inflammatory immune response, induced Tregs and downregulated CD4+IL22BP T cell ratio in inflamed samples of CD patients, which may be exploited for significant therapeutic use.
