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

CD3 is an essential component of the CD3-TCR complex. In this report, we describe the cloning, characterization, and expression analysis of the CD3varepsilon and CD3gamma/delta chain genes from fugu, Takifugu rubripes. Two distinct CD3varepsilon homologue cDNAs, designated as CD3varepsilon-1 and CD3varepsilon-2, and a CD3gamma/delta homologue cDNA were isolated from the fugu thymus. The deduced amino acid sequences of these cDNAs exhibit conserved essential CD3 chain motifs and overall structures. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the CD3varepsilon and CD3gamma/delta genes were expressed in lymphoid organs (e.g. thymus, head kidney, trunk kidney and spleen), mucosal tissues (gill, skin, and intestine), and peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL). The CD3 and TCRalpha genes were expressed only in the surface IgM- population, which were separated from PBL using an anti-fugu IgM monoclonal antibody. In addition, in situ hybridization confirmed that CD3-expressing cells were distributed randomly in the head kidney, trunk kidney, and spleen, but in the thymus were restricted to the lymphoid outer zone and epithelioid inner zone only. Collectively, these results suggest that CD3 molecules are useful markers for the identification of T cells in teleost fish. The present study thus provides a critical step in identifying T cells in this model organism.
