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

Non-lymphoid immunoregulatory cells, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulatory macrophages (Mregs), and tolerogenic dendritic cells (Tol-DCs), play critical roles in maintaining immune homeostasis. However, their therapeutic application in autoimmune diseases and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has received comparatively less attention. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer a promising platform for cell engineering, enabling superior quality control, scalable production, and large-scale in vitro expansion of iPSC-derived non-lymphoid immunoregulatory cells. These advances pave the way for their broader application in autoimmune disease and GVHD therapy. Recent innovations in iPSC differentiation protocols have facilitated the generation of these cell types with functional characteristics akin to their primary counterparts. This review explores the unique features and generation processes of iPSC-derived non-lymphoid immunoregulatory cells, their therapeutic potential in GVHD and autoimmune disease, and their progress toward clinical translation. It emphasizes the phenotypic and functional diversity within each cell type and their distinct effects on disease modulation. Despite these advancements, challenges persist in optimizing differentiation efficiency, ensuring functional stability, and bridging the gap to clinical application. By synthesizing current methodologies, preclinical findings, and translational efforts, this review underscores the transformative potential of iPSC-derived non-lymphoid immunoregulatory cells in advancing cell-based therapies for alloimmune and autoimmune diseases.
