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

Non-apoptotic functions of Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) have been implicated in T lineage lymphocytes, but the nature of FADD-dependent non-apoptotic mechanism in early T-cell development has not been completely elucidated. In this study, we show that tissue-specific deletion of FADD in immature (CD44(-)CD25(+)) thymocytes results in severe perturbation of αβ lineage development. Meanwhile, loss of FADD signaling at a later (CD44(-)CD25(-)) developmental stage does not affect subsequent T-cell development. Collectively, our work presents that FADD deficiency induces failed survival in double-negative 4 (DN4) cells, while pre-T-cell receptor (TCR) signal remains intact. In addition, Notch signaling is positive regulated on DN4 and double-positive thymocytes in T-cell-specific FADD-knockout mice, which express higher levels of a subset of Notch-target genes, including Hes1, Deltex1 and CD25. Moreover, a transcriptional repressor of Notch1, NKAP is downregulated coupled with the loss of FADD in thymocytes and is found to associate with FADD. These data suggest that as a death receptor, FADD is also required for cell survival in β-selection as a regulator of Notch1 expression.
