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

backgroundAcute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) remains a leading cause of transplant-related mortality following allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) are a novel mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have stronger proliferation and immunomodulatory ability compared with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Besides, as the amniotic membrane is often treated as medical waste after delivery, hAMSCs can be obtained conveniently and noninvasively. The aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of hAMSCs transplantation for the humanized aGVHD mouse model.

methodsWe established a humanized aGVHD mouse model by transplanting human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into NOD-Prkdc

resultsWe successfully established a humanized aGVHD mouse model using NPG mice. The hAMSCs have the ability to inhibit aGVHD in this mouse model through reduced villous blunting and lymphocyte infiltration of the gut while reducing inflammatory edema, tissue destruction and lymphocyte infiltration into the parenchyma of the liver and lung. hAMSCs suppressed CD3+CD4+ T and CD3+CD8+ T cell expression and increased the proportion of Tregs, and besides, hAMSCs can reduce the levels of IL-17A, INF-γ, and TNF in aGVHD target organs.

conclusionThe NPG murine environment was capable of activating human T cells to produce aGVHD pathology to mimic aGVHD as in humans. The hAMSCs controlled aGVHD by decreasing inflammatory cytokine secretion within target organs by modulating the balance of Tregs and T effector cells in humanized mice.
