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

backgroundAutoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a T cell-mediated immune disease that activates abnormally against hepatic antigens. We have previously reported that endometrial regenerative cells (ERCs) were a novel source of adult stem cells, which exhibiting with powerful immunomodulatory effects. Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is expressed in ERCs and plays an important role in regulating T cell response. This study aims to explore the role of ERCs in attenuation of AIH and to determine the potential mechanism of Gal-9 in ERC-mediated immune regulation.

methodsERCs were obtained from menstrual blood of healthy female volunteers. In vitro, ERCs were transfected with lentivirus vectors carrying LGALS9 gene and encoding green fluoresce protein (GFP-Gal-9-LVs) at a MOI 50, Gal-9 expression in ERCs was detected by ELISA and Q-PCR. CD4

resultsAfter transfecting with GFP-Gal-9-LVs, Gal-9 expression in ERCs was significantly increased. Additionally, Gal-9 high-expressing ERCs effectively inhibited CD4

conclusionsThe results suggested that Gal-9 was an essential modulator, which was required by ERCs in regulating T cell response and attenuating ConA-induced experimental hepatitis. And also, it provides a novel idea for the clinical treatment of AIH.
