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

Thymic maturation of T cells depends on the intracellular interpretation of alphabetaTCR signals by processes that are poorly understood. In this study, we report that beta-catenin/Tcf signaling was activated in double-positive thymocytes in response to alphabetaTCR engagement and impacted thymocyte selection. TCR engagement combined with activation of beta-catenin signaled thymocyte deletion, whereas Tcf-1 deficiency rescued from negative selection. Survival/apoptotis mediators including Bim, Bcl-2, and Bcl-x(L) were alternatively influenced by stabilization of beta-catenin or ablation of Tcf-1, and Bim-mediated beta-catenin induced thymocyte deletion. TCR activation in double-positive cells with stabilized beta-catenin triggered signaling associated with negative selection, including sustained overactivation of Lat and Jnk and a transient activation of Erk. These observations are consistent with beta-catenin/Tcf signaling acting as a switch that determines the outcome of thymic selection downstream the alphabetaTCR cascade.
