Review in Nature reviews. Immunology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03795649 (The Immunomodulatory Effect of Antrifibrinolytic), which is not on this map. Cited by 334 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Surviving a given infection requires the generation of a controlled immune response. Failure to establish or restore homeostatic conditions during or following the onset of an infection can lead to tissue damage. Investigation of the immunoregulatory network that arises in response to the infectious process or that is induced by the pathogen itself should provide insight into therapeutic approaches for the control of infection and any subsequent immunopathology. In this Review, I discuss current hypotheses and points of polemic associated with the origin, mode of action and antigen specificity of the various populations of regulatory T cells that arise during infection.
