Characterization of cultured thymus tissue used for transplantation with emphasis on promiscuous expression of thyroid tissue-specific genes.
Article in Immunologic research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Autoimmune thyroid disease occurs in some complete DiGeorge anomaly patients after thymus transplantation. This study was designed to assess the effect of culture of thymus tissue on the expression of genes involved in the development of autoimmunity. The expression of autoimmune regulator (AIRE), thyroglobulin (TG), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and cytokeratin RNAs was examined in thymocytes and thymus tissue on the day of thymus harvest and after 14 and 21 days of culture. Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the cytokeratin expression in the thymus tissue. AIRE, TG, TPO, and cytokeratin mRNAs were found in harvest-day, 14-day and 21-day cultured tissues. Levels of AIRE, TG, and cytokeratin mRNAs were mostly higher after culture compared to expression on the harvest day, likely secondary to thymocyte depletion.
