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

Immunologic tolerance is a state of unresponsiveness that is specific for a particular antigen. The immune system has an extraordinary potential for making T cell and B cell that recognize and neutralize any chemical entity and microbe entering the body. Certainly, some of these T cells and B cells recognize self-components; therefore, cellular mechanisms have evolved to control the activity of these self-reactive cells and achieve immunological self-tolerance. The most important in vivo biological significance of mechanisms regulating self-tolerance is to prevent the immune system from mounting an attack against the host's own tissues resulting in autoimmunity. This review summarizes recent developments in our understanding of T-helper cell tolerance and discusses how the new findings can be exploited to prevent and treat autoimmune diseases, allergy, cancer, and chronic infection, or establish donor-specific transplantation tolerance.
