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

Cell-based immunotherapies represent a promising strategy for transplant tolerance, yet challenges remain in graft targeting, in vivo tracking, and comprehensive regulation of alloreactive T cells. Here, we developed trackable tolerogenic macrophages (TTMs), engineered to overexpress PD-L1, incorporate azide groups for bioorthogonal labeling, and encapsulate rapamycin nanoparticles (RAPA NPs). Following intravenous administration in murine allografts, TTMs preferentially homed to inflamed grafts and were visualized in vivo. TTMs reduced graft inflammation and prolonged allograft survival up to 35 days, significantly longer than PD-L1 or RAPA monotherapy groups. Mechanistic studies showed that PD-L1 ligation of PD-1 suppressed Th1 differentiation and CD8
