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

The body tends to maintain a relatively constant number of peripheral T cells, a phenomenon termed T cell homeostasis. Homeostasis is controlled by the coordinated activity of extrinsic regulation, most notably through cytokines of the common gamma chain (cgammaC) family and intrinsic regulation by transcription factors. Whereas the former mechanism has been extensively studied and is relatively well characterized, the transcription factors that govern the homeostasis of late-stage effector and memory T cells have been less well defined but include regulators such as T-bet, Eomes, Bcl6, and Id2. The transcriptional repressor, Blimp-1 is well known as a master regulator of the terminal differentiation of B cells into antibody secreting plasma cells. Recent experiments have now revealed that Blimp-1 is also a key regulator of T cell differentiation. Blimp-1 is expressed in differentiated effector T cells and controls their homeostasis. Interestingly, Blimp-1 expression is controlled by the same cgammaC cytokines that regulate T cell homeostasis suggesting a direct link between the extrinsic and intrinsic arms of the process.
