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

E2A has been shown to be an important transcription factor downstream of the T-cell receptor (TCR) signal during T-cell development. The TCR signal is known to elicit different cellular responses at different stages of T-cell development. Whether E2A is still required for normal TCR signalling in mature T cells is unknown. Here we examined T-cell function after disruption of the E2A gene exclusively in the T-cell lineage. The conditional E2A-deficient mice show enhanced humoral immunity to a T-dependent antigen. We further show that E2A is involved in regulating TCR-induced T-cell proliferation events. However, E2A seems to play opposite roles in naïve and effector T cells. In the absence of E2A, TCR-induced proliferation is increased in naïve T cells and decreased in effector T cells. At older ages, these mice frequently develop antinuclear antibodies and proteinuria. Our studies suggest that E2A regulates T-cell function and the loss of E2A may promote age-dependent autoimmune diseases.
