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

backgroundIschemic stroke in white matter of the brain induces not only demyelination, but also neuroinflammation. Peripheral T lymphocytes, especially regulatory T cells (Tregs), are known to infiltrate into ischemic brain and play a crucial role in modulation of inflammatory response there. We previously reported that transplantation of vascular endothelial cells generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iVECs) ameliorated white matter infarct. The aim of this study is to investigate contribution of the immune system, especially Tregs, to the mechanism whereby iVEC transplantation ameliorates white matter infarct.

methodsiVECs and human Tregs were transplanted into the site of white matter lesion seven days after induction of ischemia. The egress of T lymphocytes from lymph nodes was sequestered by treating the animals with fingolimod (FTY720). The infarct size was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the activated microglia and macrophages, T cells, Tregs, and oligodendrocyte lineage cells. Remyelination was examined by Luxol fast blue staining.

resultsiVEC transplantation reduced ED-1

conclusionsiVEC transplantation suppresses neuroinflammation, but suppression of neuroinflammation per se does not promote remyelination. Recruitment of Tregs by transplanted iVECs contributes significantly to promotion of remyelination in the injured white matter.
