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

Maintenance of peripheral tolerance is essential for homeostasis of the immune system. While central tolerance mechanisms result in deletion of the majority of self-reactive T cells, T lymphocytes specific for self-antigens also escape this process and circulate in the periphery. To control the development of autoimmunity, multiple mechanisms of peripheral tolerance have evolved, including T cell anergy, deletion, and suppression by regulatory T (Treg) cells. The pathway consisting of the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor (CD279) and its ligands PD-L1 (B7-H1, CD274) and PD-L2 (B7-DC; CD273) plays a vital role in the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance. This pathway also regulates the balance between stimulatory and inhibitory signals needed for effective immunity and maintenance of T cell homeostasis. In contrast to this important beneficial role in maintaining T cell homeostasis, PD-1 mediates potent inhibitory signals that prevent the expansion and function of T effector cells and have detrimental effects on antiviral and antitumor immunity. Despite the compelling studies on the significant functional role of PD-1 in mediating inhibition of activated T cells, little is known about how PD-1 blocks T cell activation. Here, we will provide a brief overview of the signaling events that are regulated by PD-1 triggering, and we will discuss their implications on cell intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that determine the fate and function of T effector cells.
