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

Regulatory dendritic cells (DCreg) promote transplant tolerance following their adoptive transfer in experimental animals. We investigated the feasibility, safety, fate, and impact on host T cells of donor monocyte-derived DCreg infused into prospective, living donor liver transplant patients, 7 days before transplantation. The DCreg expressed a tolerogenic gene transcriptional profile, high cell surface programed death ligand-1 (PD-L1):CD86 ratios, high IL-10/no IL-12 productivity and poor ability to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation. Target DCreg doses (range 2.5-10 × 10
