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 TAM family of receptors (Tyro3, Axl, and Mertk) plays an important role in the negative regulation of response of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages to pathogenic stimuli, and mice lacking this receptor family develop spontaneous lupus-like systemic autoimmunity against a variety of tissues, including retina. To study the molecular mechanism underlying the TAM regulation of APC functions and subsequent effects on the induction of an autoimmune response against the eye, we examined CD4 T cell differentiation following retinal self-antigen immunization. CD4 T cells prepared from naive or interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP)1-20-immunized Axl and Mertk double-knockout (dko) mice reacted to activation using anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 Abs or to bolster by self-antigen in vitro with a predominantly Th1 effector response, as characterized by increased IFN-γ production and higher frequency of IFN-γ-positive CD4 T cells. The Th17 effector response to IRBP immunization was similar in dko mice to that in wild-type controls, as shown by ELISA measurement of IL-17A in the culture medium and flow cytometric analysis of IL-17A-secreting CD4 T cells. Interestingly, APCs or DCs isolated from IRBP-immunized dko mice exhibited a greater ability to drive the Th1 response. The production of two driving cytokines for Th1 differentiation, IL-12 and IL-18, was dramatically increased in dko DCs and macrophages, and LPS stimulation bolstered their production. The preferential development into the Th1 subset in dko mice suggests that the cytokine milieu produced by the mutant mice in vivo or by mutant APCs in vitro selectively creates a differentiation environment favoring the Th1 effector response.
