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

introductionIn the development of cell therapy products for human use, studies on the biodistribution of transplanted cells in animals are important for assessing the safety and efficacy of these products. Although a few reports have described the biodistribution of human cells in animals using

methodsA standard curve was constructed for the addition of cell lysates to mouse tissues and blood, and DNA was extracted. Alu-PCR was applied for the quantification of human peripheral blood CD8

resultsAlu-PCR enabled us to specifically detect human T cells in mouse blood and tissues. The lower detection limit of Alu-PCR was 10 cells/15 mg tissue (7.5 mg for spleen and lung) or cells/50 μL blood. Given that PCR threshold cycle (Cq) values among mouse samples (blood, liver spleen, lung, heart, and kidney) show slight variation, calibration curves should be generated using the same tissue as used for the assay. Most coefficients of variation in the assay were within 30%. The cell kinetics of administered human T cells in mice were successfully evaluated using the established Alu-qPCR.

conclusionsThe Alu-PCR technique developed in this study showed sufficient specificity and sensitivity in detecting human peripheral blood CD8
