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

Background: Vascularized composite allotransplantation is successful in reconstruction of major defects of the upper extremity and face. Both rejection and vascular damage seriously endanger the outcome. The role of adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) in suppressing acute rejection of composite allotransplants and their short-term protective effects on vessels remains widely unexplored. Methods: Systemic and local donor-derived ASCs (CD45 Results: ASC administration upon grade II rejection significantly delayed but did not suppress progression to grade III rejection (7.6 ± 1.0 days systemic, 7.1 ± 1.1 days local vs. no cell therapy 2.9 ± 1 days; p<0.01, n=38 animals). Pro-inflammatory cytokine blood levels significantly increased in controls from grade II to grade III rejection, whereas ASC significantly lowered the levels for G-CSF, MIP-1α, MIP-3α, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-18, and Rantes (p<0.05). Local and systemic PKH-26-labeled ASCs homed to the allograft and reversed intragraft vascular alterations in arterioles of rejecting skin and muscle, similarly to FK-506-treated controls (p<0.01). Conclusions: Although systemic and local ASC therapy reduces progression of acute rejection in vascularized composite allotransplantation, it is not able to revert rejection without additional immunosuppressive therapy. However, graft vasculitis during acute rejection is significantly reduced after cytotherapy.
