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

Naturally occurring Foxp3(+)CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cell (nTreg)-mediated suppression of lung allergic responses is abrogated following ligation of glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis receptor (GITR) family-related protein. In vitro stimulation of nTregs with GITR ligand increased phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) but not extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) or p38 MAPK. SP600125, a known JNK inhibitor, prevented GITR-mediated phosphorylation of JNK. Activation of JNK was associated with increases in the upstream mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) and the downstream transcription factor NF-κβ. Phosphorylated c-Jun (p-c-Jun), indicative of the activation of JNK, was detected in the immunoprecipitates of nTregs from wild-type but not JNK- or GITR-deficient mice. Treatment with an inhibitor of JNK phosphorylation resulted in complete reversal of all GITR-induced changes in nTreg phenotype and function, with full restoration of suppression of in vivo lung allergic responses and in vitro proliferation of activated CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells. Thus, regulation of JNK phosphorylation plays a central role in T regulatory cell function with therapeutic implications for the treatment of asthma and autoimmune diseases.
