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

A key process in the development of T lymphocyte in the thymus is T-cell receptor (TCR) selection. It is controlled by complex signaling pathways that contain redox-sensitive molecules. However, the redox status early after TCR selection and how redox regulators promote the survival of post-selected DP thymocytes has not been directly addressed. The present study demonstrated that the transition from pre- to post-selected double-positive (DP) stages was accompanied with an increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a transient surge in the expression of a variety of redox regulators. Among them, the thioredoxin (Trx)1/thioredoxin reductase (TrxR)1 system was found to be critically involved in the regulation of cell survival of DP thymocytes, especially that of post-selected CD69(+) subset, as its inhibition caused a specific reduction of these cells both in vitro and in vivo, most likely owing to increased apoptosis. Suppression of the glutathione-dependent redox system, on the other hand, showed no obvious impact. Biochemically, treatment of DP thymcoytes with TrxR1 inhibitor alone or in conjunction with anti-CD3 resulted in enhanced phosphorylation of redox-sensitive ASK-1, JNK and p38 MAPK, and upregulated expression of Bim. Taken together, the data presented here suggest that the timely upregulation of Trx1/TrxR1 and the active control of intracellular redox status is critical for the survival of thymocytes during and short after positive selection.
