Cellular Dynamics of Transgenic Porcine Endothelial Cells to Inflammatory Stimuli in Xenotransplantation Settings.
Article in Xenotransplantation. 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
Inflammatory responses have been shown to contribute significantly to the rejection of grafts in both allo- and xenotransplantation. In particular, they play a pivotal role in promoting endothelial activation, complement deposition, and thrombosis, thereby compromising the graft function. In this study, we investigated the molecular and functional properties of genetically modified porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAECs) that carry a knockout of α1,3-galactosyltransferase and express human CD46 and thrombomodulin (3GM) in xenogeneic and inflammatory environments. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that these genetic modifications effectively reduced the intrinsic inflammatory and procoagulant phenotype of 3GM PAECs. Under xenogeneic activation, 3GM PAECs also exhibited minimal cellular responses distinct from those of wild-type (WT) PAECs, along with robust protection from the activation of the complement and coagulation systems. However, under inflammatory conditions, 3GM and WT PAECs showed more aligned transcriptional and functional profiles characterized by pronounced upregulation of proinflammatory and prothrombotic pathways, increased complement deposition, and a shift toward a more procoagulant state. This loss of protection during inflammatory conditions was associated with the induction of inflammatory and procoagulant mediators, including PAI-1 and uPAR, despite stable transgene expression. Collectively, these insights enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between inflammation, complement, coagulation, and immune regulation in xenotransplantation. Our findings further emphasize the importance of incorporating both genetic and pharmacologic strategies targeting inflammatory pathways to enhance graft compatibility.
