Enabling allogeneic therapies: CIRM-funded strategies for immune tolerance and immune evasion.
Review in Stem cells translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A major goal for the field of regenerative medicine is to enable the safe and durable engraftment of allogeneic tissues and organs. In contrast to autologous therapies, allogeneic therapies can be produced for many patients, thus reducing costs and increasing availability. However, the need to overcome strong immune system barriers to engraftment poses a significant biological challenge to widespread adoption of allogeneic therapies. While the use of powerful immunosuppressant drugs has enabled the engraftment of lifesaving organ transplants, these drugs have serious side effects and often the organ is eventually rejected by the recipient immune system. Two conceptually different strategies have emerged to enable durable engraftment of allogeneic therapies in the absence of immune suppression. One strategy is to induce immune tolerance of the transplant, either by creating "mixed chimerism" in the hematopoietic system, or by retraining the immune system using modified thymic epithelial cells. The second strategy is to evade the immune system altogether, either by engineering the donor tissue to be "invisible" to the immune system, or by sequestering the donor tissue in an immune impermeable barrier. We give examples of research funded by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) in each of these areas, ranging from early discovery-stage work through clinical trials. The advancements that are being made in this area hold promise that many more patients will be able to benefit from regenerative medicine therapies in the future.
