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 intestinal immune system is constantly challenged by foreign antigens and commensal bacteria. Therefore, proper control of the intestinal microenvironment is required. One important arm of this regulatory network consists of regulatory T cells. In contrast to CD4(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells, which have been well characterized, immunomodulatory CD8(+) T cells that express Foxp3 are less well defined in terms of their generation and function. Failures of these regulatory mechanisms contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease. In this study we demonstrate that the frequency of CD8(+) Foxp3(+) T cells is reduced in the peripheral blood of patients with ulcerative colitis. As these cells might play a currently underestimated role in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis, we have investigated human and murine CD8(+) Foxp3(+) T cells generated by stimulating naive CD8(+) T cells in the presence of transforming growth factor-β and retinoic acid, mediators that are abundantly produced in the intestinal mucosa. These CD8(+) Foxp3(+) fully competent regulatory T cells show strong expression of regulatory molecules CD25, Gpr83 and CTLA-4 and exhibit cell-cell contact-dependent immunosuppressive activity in vitro. Our study illustrates a previously unappreciated critical role of CD8(+) Foxp3(+) T cells in controlling potentially dangerous T cells and in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis.
