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

In lung transplantation (LT), alloreactive T cell priming begins in the graft, a process that can be inhibited by seeding the graft with recipient-derived expanded polyclonal regulatory T cells (Tregs) using ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) prior to transplantation. However, this therapy alone cannot attenuate acute rejection in non-immunosuppressed animals. Interleukin 2 (IL-2)-anti-IL-2 antibody complexes (IL-2 C) promote Treg expansion in vivo with concomitant tacrolimus (Tac) administration. We combined IL-2 C and Tac with pre-transplant Treg administration during EVLP in a Fischer 344 to Wistar Kyoto rat LT model, to test the hypothesis that this strategy would facilitate intragraft Treg expansion and function. Recipients were given no treatment, Tac alone, IL-2 C/Tac alone, Treg alone, or Treg/IL-2 C/Tac. After 7 days, graft CD25
