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

abstractReconstitution of stem cells and enhancement of the barrier function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is critical to the resolution of intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Previously, our group has shown in murine models that type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) generate proteins in the GI tract that enhanced GI tract barrier function, and diminished the expansion and function of proinflammatory donor cells when given to recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplant. Therefore, the infusion of donor ILC2s could treat or prevent GI tract aGVHD but, for this approach to be clinically applicable, robust expansion of a homogeneous population of human ILC2s is needed. Here, we describe a method for the rapid expansion of a uniform population of human ILC2s that decrease GVHD in NOD scid gamma mice. The addition of interleukin 4 to the culture was critical to prevent the expansion of proinflammatory ILC1-like cells. Our approach should allow for the evaluation of human ILC2 cells to treat therapy-resistant GI tract aGVHD.
