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

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are characterized by intrathyroidal infiltration of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes reactive to self-thyroid antigens. Early studies analysing T cell receptor (TCR) Valpha gene usage have shown oligoclonal expansion of intrathyroidal T lymphocytes but not peripheral blood T cells. However, TCR Vbeta diversity of the isolated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell compartments in the peripheral blood has not been characterized fully in these patients. We performed complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) spectratyping as well as flow cytometric analysis for the TCR Vbeta repertoire in peripheral CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells from 13 patients with Graves' disease and 17 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Polyclonal TCR Vbeta repertoire was demonstrated by flow cytometry in both diseases. In contrast, CDR3 spectratyping showed significantly higher skewing of TCR Vbeta in peripheral CD8(+) T cells but not CD4(+) T cells among patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis compared with healthy adults. We found trends towards a more skewed CDR3 size distribution in those patients having disease longer than 5 years and requiring thyroid hormone replacement. Patients with Graves' disease exhibited no skewing both in CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. These findings indicate that clonal expansion of CD8(+) T cells in Hashimoto's thyroiditis can be detected in peripheral blood and may support the role of CD8(+) T cells in cell-mediated autoimmune attacks on the thyroid gland in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
