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

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are generated to antigens (Ag) found in the retina. Some Tregs are the result of ectopic expression of the retinal Ags in the thymus, where developing T cells are committed to enter the regulatory lineage. However, the generation of retinal Ag-specific Tregs independent of the thymus was uncertain. Our studies show that Tregs can be generated from mature, peripheral T cells based on exposure to retinal Ags. These peripherally induced Tregs limited immune responses and experimental autoimmune disease induced by retinal Ags and thus constitute a crucial component of retinal immune privilege.
