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

The receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL; also termed TRANCE/OPGL/ODF/TNFSF11), a new member of the tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, was identified as a key cytokine involved in the differentiation of the immune system and the regulation of immunity as well as in bone metabolism. In particular, RANKL-deficient mice showed defects in the early differentiation of T lymphocytes, suggesting that RANKL is a novel regulator of early thymocyte development. Here, we describe the expression of RANKL during regeneration following acute involution induced by cyclophosphamide in the rat thymus. The present study demonstrates the presence and upregulated expression of the RANKL in thymic subcapsular, paraseptal, perivascular, and medullary epithelial cells during thymus regeneration. Our results suggest that the RANKL expressed in these thymic epithelial cells plays a role in the development of T cells during thymic regeneration.
