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

T cells are produced in the thymus from progenitors of extrathymic origin. As no specific markers are available, the developmental pathway of progenitors preceding thymic colonization remains unclear. Here we show that progenitors in murine fetal liver and blood, which are capable of giving rise to T cells, NK cells and dendritic cells, but not B cells, can be isolated by their surface expression of paired immunoglobulin-like receptors (PIR). PIR expression is maintained until the earliest intrathymic stage, then downregulated before the onset of CD25 expression. Unlike intrathymic progenitors, generation of prethymic PIR(+) progenitors does not require Hes1-mediated Notch signaling. These findings disclose a prethymic stage of T-cell development programmed for immigration of the thymus, which is genetically separable from intrathymic stages.
