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

The E-protein transcription factors E2A and HEB function in a lineage- and stage-specific manner to orchestrate many critical events throughout lymphocyte development. The function of E-proteins in both B- and T-lymphocyte development has been extensively studied through the use of single-gene knockout animals. Unlike B cells, which rely primarily on E2A alone, T cells are regulated by the combinatorial expression of both E2A and HEB. Therefore, many of the roles of E-proteins during T-cell development may be masked in single-gene knockout studies due to the compensatory function of E2A and HEB. More recently, our laboratory has established double-conditional knockout models to eliminate both E2A and HEB in a stage-specific manner throughout T-cell development. These models, in combination with other complimentary genetic approaches, have identified new E-protein functions at each of the two major T-cell developmental checkpoints. Here, we will discuss how E-proteins function to regulate the expression of T-cell receptor components and cell cycle at the β-selection checkpoint, and how they control positive selection, survival, and lineage-specific gene expression at the subsequent T-cell receptor checkpoint.
