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

During T-cell development, thymocytes with intermediate avidity for antigen-MHC complexes are positively selected and then differentiate into functional cytotoxic and helper T cells. This process is controlled by signalling from the T-cell receptor (TCR). Here, we show that the c-Myb transcription factor is a critical downstream regulator of positive selection, promoting the development of helper T cells and blocking the development of cytotoxic T cells. A gain-of-function c-Myb transgene stops development of cytotoxic T cells, instead causing accumulation of a precursor population. Conversely, loss of c-Myb in selecting cells results in significantly fewer helper T cells. In c-Myb-null thymocytes, Gata3, a critical inducer of T-helper cell fate, is not upregulated in response to T-cell receptor signaling, following selection. We show that Gata3 is a direct target of c-Myb, and propose that c-Myb is an important regulator of Gata3, required for transduction of the T-cell receptor signal for subsequent helper cell lineage differentiation.
