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

Scurfy mice which lacks functional Foxp3 transcription factor and CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells, spontaneously develop autoimmune responses against skin, lung, liver and tail. However, many organs/tissues are spared from autoimmune attack. Here, we demonstrate that scurfy mice contain dormant autoimmune T cells that induced new diseases such as sialoadenitis, dacryoadenitis, pancreatitis, gastritis, intestinal inflammation, colitis, and myositis in RAG-1 KO mice. Inflammation in as many as 12 organs/tissues was consistently induced in individual recipients with scurfy lymph node cells containing as few as 1.25 x 10(6) CD4(+) T cells. Moreover, transfer of the multiple organ autoimmune diseases could be suppressed by as little as 0.5 x 10(6) CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells, mediated by inhibiting autoimmune T-cell expansion. Our study provides evidence for the presence of a large repertoire of autoimmune lymphocytes against various organs/tissues in scurfy mice as well as Treg cells in B6 mice capable of suppressing the expansion of these autoimmune lymphocytes. Various conditions that control the expression of autoimmune T cells are discussed.
