Emerging Cell-Based Therapies for Systemic Sclerosis: From Stem Cells to CAR-T Cells.
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a disease in which malfunctioning immune cells lead to the formation of autoantibodies that damage blood vessels and body tissues. Fibrosis then develops in the affected organs. Its complex pathogenesis involves multiple immune and stromal cell types, soluble mediators, and dysregulated tissue repair, resulting in heterogeneous clinical manifestations and poor prognosis. Current disease-modifying therapies provide only modest benefits, often slowing but rarely reversing disease progression, and are associated with considerable adverse effects. These limitations have spurred the development of cell-based therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring immune tolerance and promoting tissue repair. In this review, we summarize recent advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, mesenchymal stem cell therapy, and adoptive regulatory T cell transfer and highlight the emerging role of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy as a transformative approach for SSc. Collectively, these evolving strategies hold the potential to improve survival, achieve durable remissions, and significantly enhance quality of life for patients with SSc.
