Cellular therapies for the prevention and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease.
Review in Stem cells (Dayton, Ohio), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) that is caused by donor immune cells attacking and damaging host tissues. Immune suppressive small molecule and protein-based therapeutics targeting donor anti-host immune cells are currently used for GVHD prophylaxis and treatment. Even with these therapies, aGVHD progresses to life-threatening steroid-refractory aGVHD (SR-aGVHD) in up to 50% of cases and is a risk factor for the subsequent development of debilitating chronic GVHD. To improve aGVHD-related outcomes, donor graft engineering techniques and adoptive transfer of immune modulatory cells have been explored. Highly rigorous donor graft T-cell depletion approaches have revealed that mitigation of aGVHD can be accompanied by slow immune recovery post-allo-HCT and reduction in anti-microbial and anti-leukemia responses resulting in increased relapse and infection rates, respectively. Recent T-cell separation techniques allowing for precision graft engineering by selectively eliminating aGVHD-causing T-cells (eg, naïve T-cells) without loss of T-cells with beneficial functions and retaining and/or enriching immune regulatory populations (eg, regulatory T-cells (Tregs) or myeloid-derived suppressor cells) have been tested and will continue to improve. Clinical cell-based regulatory therapies have been employed for targeting SR-aGVHD, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and more recently, Tregs. In this review, we summarize aGVHD pathophysiology, highlight newly discovered aGVHD mechanisms, and discuss current and emerging cellular and graft manipulation approaches for aGVHD prevention and treatment.
