C-C chemokine receptor 5 and acute graft-versus-host disease.
Review in Immunity, inflammation and disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is mainly expressed in a variety of immune cells. It interacts with multiple chemokine ligands that mediate the trafficking and recruitment of effector cells toward sites of inflammation. CCR5 not only plays a critical role in cell growth, activation, differentiation, adhesion, and migration but also participates in the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.
methodsThis is a literature review article. The research design method is an evidence-based rapid review. The present discourse aim is first to scrutinize and assess the available literature on CCR5 and acute GVHD. Standard literature and database searches were implemented, gathered relevant material, and extracted information was then assessed.
resultsCCR5 is a marker of GVHD effector cells, and CCR5 expression is elevated when acute GVHD occurs. CCR5 blockade with maraviroc in clinical trials results in a low incidence of acute GVHD. The immune mechanism includes that CCR5 blockade inhibits donor T cell migration and recruitment toward target organs, reduces the absolute numbers of donor T cells, is capable of slightly suppressing dendritic cell maturation, and reduces the percentage of Th1 and Th17 subsets. CCR5 blockade also inhibits internalization and activation of chemokines, inhibits proliferation and chemotaxis of T cells, and decreases the production of TNF-α and IFN-γ. In addition, there may be a form of crosstalk between CCR5 and CCR2. Inconsistently, infusion of CCR5
conclusionThis review indicates that CCR5 plays an important role in pathogenesis and development of acute GVHD. Elucidating its role in different immune cells will aid the development of targeted therapeutic treatments.
