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 osteopontin (Opn) glycoprotein has been implicated in diverse physiological processes, including vascularization, bone formation, and inflammatory responses. Studies of its role in immune responses has suggested that Opn can set the early stage of type-1 immune (cell-mediated) responses through differential regulation of IL-12 and IL-10 cytokine gene expression in macrophages. Although Opn has been suggested to play a role in the development of type-1 immunity, little is known about control of Opn gene expression. Here, we report that Opn gene expression in activated T cells, but not macrophages, is regulated by T-bet, a transcription factor that controls CD4+ T helper (Th1) cell lineage commitment. We also find that T-bet-dependent expression of Opn in T cells is essential for efficient skewing of CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells toward the Th1 and type 1 CD8+ T cells (Tc1) pathway, respectively. Taken together, these findings begin to delineate the genetic basis of Opn expression in T cells and further clarify the role of Opn in Th and Tc1 development.
