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

Autoimmune diseases (AIDs), such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, are driven by immune dysfunction, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory and tissue repair properties; however, the therapeutic applicability of MSCs faces limitations due to the low homing efficiency upon systemic infusion. Inspired by antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), here we develop an antibody-conjugated MSC-based drug delivery system (AcM-DDS) that combines CD4 monoclonal antibody-conjugated MSC (CD4-mBMSC) with liposome-encapsulated Cedirogant, a RORγt inverse agonist. AcM-DDS targets CD4⁺ T cells, key drivers of AID, and precisely delivers RORγt antagonists to suppress Th17-mediated inflammation. In mouse models of imiquimod-induced psoriasis and collagen-induced arthritis, AcM-DDS enhances MSC homing to inflamed tissues, reduces Th17 activity, lowers pro-inflammatory cytokine production, and preserves cartilage and bone integrity. Thus, our results indicate the promising applicability of our engineered platform for targeted immune modulation and provide support for the suitability of this therapeutic approach for the treatment of AIDs.
