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

objectiveOne of the main challenges in liver cell therapy is the replacement of damaged cells and the induction of a tolerogenic microenvironment to promote graft acceptance by the recipient. Adult-derived human liver stem/progenitor cells (ADHLSCs) are currently evaluated at the clinical levels as a promising pro-regenerative and immune-modulatory tool. The expression profile of several immunological molecules may influence the local immune-inflammatory response and, therefore, modulate the tissue healing process. To increase the quality and safety of ADHLSCs before transplantation requires an appropriate analysis and characterization of their pattern expression of immune-inflammatory-associated molecules.

methodsThe expression of 27 molecules belonging to T-cell co-stimulatory pathway, CD47 partners, Ikaros family, CD300 family and TNF family were analyzed using flow cytometry. We compared their expression profiles to PBMCs, hepatocytes and ADHLSCs in both expansion and after hepatogenic differentiation culture conditions.

resultsThis original immuno-comparative screening revealed that liver cell populations do not constitutively present significant immunological pattern compared to PBMCs. Moreover, our findings highlight that neither the expansion nor the hepatogenic differentiation induces the expression of immune-inflammatory molecules. The detailed expression characteristics (percentage of positive cells and median fluorescence intensity) of each molecule were analyzed and presented.

conclusionBy analyzing 27 relevant molecules, our immuno-comparative screening demonstrates that ADHLSCs keep a non-immunogenic profile independent of their expansion or hepatogenic differentiation state. Accordingly, the immunological profile of ADHLSCs seems to support their safe and efficient use in liver tissue therapeutic repair strategy.
