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

Murine experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) is a model for Hashimoto's thyroiditis that has served as a prototype of T cell-mediated autoimmunity for more than three decades. Key roles for MHC restriction and autoantigen influence on susceptibility to autoimmunity have been demonstrated in EAT. Moreover, it has served a unique role in investigations of self tolerance. In the early 1980s, self tolerance and resistance to EAT induction could be enhanced by increasing circulating levels of the autoantigen, thyroglobulin (Tg), by exogenous addition as well as endogenous release. This observation, directly linking circulating self antigen to self tolerance, led to subsequent investigations of the role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in self tolerance. These studies revealed that protection against autoimmunity, in both naive and tolerized mice, was mediated by thymically-derived CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs. Moreover, these naturally-existing Tregs required proper costimulation, in context with autoantigen presentation, to maintain and enhance self tolerance. In particular was the selected use of MHC- and heterologous Tg-restricted models from both conventional and transgenic mice. These models helped to elucidate the complex interplay between autoantigen presentation and MHC class II-mediated T cell selection in the development of Treg and autoreactive T cell repertoires determining susceptibility to autoimmunity. Here we describe these investigations in further detail, providing a context for how EAT has helped shape our understanding of self tolerance and autoimmunity.
