Donor CD8 T cell activation is critical for greater renal disease severity in female chronic graft-vs.-host mice and is associated with increased splenic ICOS(hi) host CD4 T cells and IL-21 expression.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lupus-like renal disease in DBA/2-into-F1 (DBA --> F1) mice is driven by donor CD4 T cells and is more severe in females. Donor CD8 T cells have no known role. As expected, we observed that females receiving unfractionated DBA splenocytes (CD8 intact --> F1) exhibited greater clinical and histological severities of renal disease at 13 weeks compared to males. Surprisingly, sex-based differences in renal disease severity were lost in CD8 depleted --> F1 mice due to an improvement in females and a worsening in males. CD8 intact --> F1 female mice exhibited significantly greater donor and host effector (CD44(hi), CD62L(lo)) CD4 T cells and ICOS(hi) CD4 T follicular helper cells than males. CD8 depleted --> F1 female mice exhibited a reduction in the absolute numbers of host, but not donor CD4 Tfh cells and lost the significant increase in host CD4 effector cells vs. males. Greater female IL-21 expression, a product of Tfh cells, was seen in CD8 intact --> F1 and although reduced was still greater than male CD8 depleted --> F1 mice. Thus, donor CD8 T cells have a critical role in mediating sex-based differences in lupus renal disease severity possibly through greater host ICOS(hi) CD4 T cell involvement.
