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

Calcium ions (Ca(2+)) function as universal second messengers in eukaryotic cells, including immune cells. Ca(2+) is crucial for peripheral T-lymphocyte activation and effector functions, and influences thymocyte selection and motility in the developing thymus. However, the role of Ca(2+) signalling in early T-lymphocyte development is not well understood. Here we show that the inositol triphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) Ca(2+) ion channels are required for proliferation, survival and developmental progression of T-lymphocyte precursors. Our studies indicate that signalling via IP3Rs represses Sox13, an antagonist of the developmentally important transcription factor Tcf-1. In the absence of IP3R-mediated Ca(2+) signalling, repression of key Notch transcriptional targets--including Hes1--fail to occur in post β-selection thymocytes, and mice develop aggressive T-cell malignancies that resemble human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). These data indicate that IP3R-mediated Ca(2+) signalling reinforces Tcf-1 activity to both ensure normal development and prevent thymocyte neoplasia.
