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

introductionThe ability of dendritic cells (DCs) to initiate an immune response or induce immune tolerance depends on their maturation status. Dendritic-cell-associated C-type lectin 1 (Dectin-1) plays a key role in the differentiation, activation, and maturation of DCs. Therefore, we hypothesized that inhibition of Dectin-1 could prevent DC maturation and induce immune tolerance of transplanted organs.

methodsDCs were transduced with a recombinant lentiviral vector to inhibit Dectin-1 and then were injected into a murine recipient before islet transplantation. C57BL/6 mice (H-2b) were treated with lentiviral vector-Dectin-1-RNAi-DC (DC-Dectin-1-RNAi group), lentiviral vector-GFP DCs (DC-GFP group), and PBS (control group). Pancreatic islet transplantation was performed and graft survival was recorded. The proportions of regulatory T cells, Th1 cells, and Th17 cells in the spleen and draining lymph nodes, and serum levels of interleukin (IL)-10, IL-17, and interferon (INF)-γ were measured.

resultsThe inhibition of Dectin-1 resulted in low expression of MHC-II and costimulatory molecules in DCs. Murine recipients treated with DC-Dectin-1-RNAi had longer islet allograft survival time, a reduction in the levels of Th1 and Th17 cells and secreted cytokines, and an increase of Treg cells.

conclusionThe inhibition of Dectin-1 by recombinant lentiviral vector Dectin-1-RNAi inhibits the maturation and activation of DCs, affects the differentiation of T cell subsets, and prolongs allograft survival.
