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

We have previously isolated insulin-reactive Tregs from diabetic NOD mice designated 2H6, from which TCR transgenic mice were generated. The T cells from these 2H6 transgenic mice recognize insulin but have suppressive properties in vitro. They protect NOD mice in vivo from spontaneous development of diabetes and adoptive transfer of disease caused by polyclonal diabetogenic spleen cells as well as the highly diabetogenic monoclonal BDC2.5 TCR transgenic T cells that recognize an islet granule antigen. Using cells from both NOD and BDC2.5 mice that express a dominant-negative TGF-beta receptor type II (TGF-betaDNRII), we show that 2H6 T cells protected from disease by producing TGF-beta and that the ability of the target diabetogenic T cells to respond to TGF-beta was crucial. We further demonstrate that TGF-beta signaling in 2H6 cells was important for their protective properties, as 2H6 cells were unable to protect from adoptive transfer-induced diabetes if they were unable to respond to TGF-beta. Thus, our data demonstrate that insulin-specific regulatory cells protect from diabetes by virtue of their production of TGF-beta1 that acts in an autocrine manner to maintain their regulatory function and acts in a paracrine manner on the target cells.
