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

This work examines the role the lysine methyltransferase KMT1E (Setdb1) in thymocyte development. We have developed and described a T cell-specific conditional knockout of Setdb1. A partial block was seen at the double-positive to single-positive transition, causing reduced numbers of single-positive T cells in the thymus and periphery. Knockout thymocytes had reduced numbers of CD69(+) and T-cell receptor TCRβ(+) cells and increased numbers of apoptotic cells in the double-positive compartment, suggesting an alteration in the selection process. Transcriptional profiling of thymocytes revealed that Setdb1 deletion derepresses expression of FcγRIIb, the inhibitory Fc receptor. We demonstrate that a KMT1E-containing complex directly interacts with the FcγRIIb promoter and that histone H3 at lysine 9 tri-methylation at this promoter is dependent on Setdb1 expression. Derepression of FcγRIIb causes exacerbated signaling through the TCR complex, with specifically increased phosphorylation of ZAP70, affecting selection. This work identifies KMT1E as a novel repressor of FcγRIIb and identifies an underappreciated role of FcγRIIb in fine tuning thymocyte development.
