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

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains limited by inefficient donor cell engraftment, which is influenced by inflammatory stress responses triggered during conditioning and immune reconstitution. While immune-mediated barriers have been extensively studied, the molecular regulators within donor hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that influence engraftment efficiency remain less defined. NOD1 and NOD2 are cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) traditionally known for sensing bacterial peptidoglycans and initiating innate immune signaling. However, emerging data suggest that NOD1/2 signaling may be directly activated by cellular stressors that intersect with cellular stress pathways critical to HSPC function. Our previous work has demonstrated that NOD1 and NOD2 play a critical role in modulating sterile inflammation, a key component of the transplant environment. This positions these PRRs as potential regulators of HSPC stress responses and survival during transplantation. Despite this, the cell-intrinsic role of NOD1 and NOD2 in donor HSPC engraftment has not been fully explored. Understanding how these innate immune sensors influence HSPC function in the absence of infection could reveal novel strategies to improve engraftment and long-term chimerism following HSCT. This study aims to determine whether the cytosolic pattern recognition receptors NOD1 and NOD2 intrinsically regulate hematopoietic stem cell reconstitution and to define the underlying mechanisms by which their deletion may enhance donor cell persistence and chimerism in transplant settings. We evaluated NOD1/2 expression in murine HSPCs, tested reconstitution efficiency of wild-type (WT) versus NOD1/2 double knockout (NOD1×
