Donor bone marrow-derived macrophage engraftment into the central nervous system of patients following allogeneic transplantation.

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
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a well-known treatment for hematologic malignancies, wherein nascent stem cells provide regenerating marrow and immunotherapy against the tumor. The progeny of hematopoietic stem cells also populate a wide spectrum of tissues, including the brain, as bone marrow-derived macrophages similar to microglial cells. We developed a sensitive and novel combined immunohistochemistry (IHC) and XY fluorescence in situ hybridization assay to detect, quantify, and characterize donor cells in the cerebral cortices of 19 female patients who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We showed that the number of male donor cells ranged from 0.14% to 3.0% of the total cells or from 1.2% to 25% of microglial cells. Using tyramide-based fluorescent IHC, we found that at least 80% of the donor cells expressed the microglial marker ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1, consistent with bone marrow-derived macrophages. The percentage of donor cells was related to pretransplantation conditioning; donor cells from radiation-based myeloablative cases averaged 8.1% of microglial cells, whereas those from nonmyeloablative cases averaged only 1.3%. The number of donor cells in patients conditioned with busulfan- or treosulfan-based myeloablation was similar to that in total body irradiation-based conditioning; donor cells averaged 6.8% of the microglial cells. Notably, patients who received multiple transplantations and those with the longest posttransplantation survival had the highest level of donor engraftment, with donor cells averaging 16.3% of the microglial cells. Our work represents the largest study characterizing bone marrow-derived macrophages in patients after transplantation. The efficiency of engraftment observed in our study warrants future research on microglial replacement as a therapeutic option for disorders of the central nervous system.
