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 molecular mechanisms that direct transcription of the gene encoding the transcription factor Foxp3 in CD4(+) T cells remain ill-defined. We show here that deletion of the DNA-binding inhibitor Id3 resulted in the defective generation of Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (T(reg) cells). We identify two transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-dependent mechanisms that were vital for activation of Foxp3 transcription and were defective in Id3(-/-) CD4(+) T cells. Enhanced binding of the transcription factor E2A to the Foxp3 promoter promoted Foxp3 transcription. Id3 was required for relief of inhibition by the transcription factor GATA-3 at the Foxp3 promoter. Furthermore, Id3(-/-) T cells showed greater differentiation into the T(H)17 subset of helper T cells in vitro and in a mouse asthma model. Therefore, a network of factors acts in a TGF-β-dependent manner to control Foxp3 expression and inhibit the development of T(H)17 cells.
